Pagination on my files field selector doesn’t work; I’ve specified “[limit: 5](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/files#pagination)” in my blueprint but the panel always displays everything without pagination. It works fine on the files section though. Maybe this is a bug?

This was brought up [here](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/how-do-i-enable-paging-for-the-files-section-in-my-blueprint/20111/4) and [here](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/how-do-i-enable-paging-for-the-files-section-in-my-blueprint/20111/4) in 2020 and suggested as a feature request, I’m wondering if it has been implemented now?

Thank you!

Right, there is a `limit` property, but this property paginates the items in the picker, not the selected items. So this is not a bug.

FYI: the feature request can be found [here](https://feedback.getkirby.com/169).  
I’m waiting for this, too.  
Long file lists look pretty messy 😕
