Hi everyone! Is possible in a files section filter by type of file? I want to only display documents not images. Thanks in advance!

Yes, that’s possible. You need to assign a template to the files section and in that files blueprint, set the `accept` option.

```auto
sections:
  docs:
    headline: My documents
    type: files
    template: docs

```

In `/site/blueprints/files/docs.yml`

```auto
title: Documents

accept: application/pdf # comma separated list of accepted mime types

```

> **[File blueprint](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/blueprints/file#accept)**
>
> File blueprints are located in /site/blueprints/files and control the Panel setup and form fields for individual file types.

Why is it not possible to use query: page.documents

In a files section you cannot use queries. You can only filter by template (however, you can use a separate template for a files section that only allows uploading documents and filter that way).

As an alternative, there’s also my [GitHub - texnixe/k3-filesdisplay-section](https://github.com/texnixe/k3-filesdisplay-section) plugin.

Ok. Is it possible to display a usagecount here? Count = if the files are used in a txt.

Yes, you can achieve this with a custom method. Depending on where you use the files (e.g. in a textarea field via a kirbytag) that would require some text parsing though).
