stuff.

You can optionally use a new field of the folder called *Columns titles* to control the heading of the table.
If you don't provide a value for this field, no heading will be used. 

How related items are used
--------------------------

If files have normal Plone related items, they are used to expand the table with more rows. This features is
mainly used for giving secondary, alternative format for a downloadale document.

Pages

In facts the view also use Pages inside the folder, but for a special use case.
