  Default  
  Web part control ID: Serves as an identifier for the web part. This ID must be unique within the context of each page template. The value of this property may only contain alphanumeric characters and the underscore character ( _ ).  
  Web part title: Title of the web part displayed on the Design tab of CMS Desk. If empty, the value of the Web part control ID property is used for this purpose.  
  Disable view state: Indicates if view state should be disabled for this web part.  
  Disable macros: If checked, macros contained in the values of the web part's properties will no longer be resolved.  
   

  Content  
  Directory path: The files contained in the directory specified here will be included in the data source. The path starts from the root of the current Kentico CMS web project. For example: "~/" or "~/Files/"  
   

  Filter  
  Include sub directories: Indicates whether files contained in sub-directories should be included in the resulting dataset.  
  Files search pattern: Can be used to enter an expression to filter which files should be included in the data source. The * wildcard may be used to indicate any number of characters. For example: "*.*", "*.jpg" "*.jpg;*.gif"  
  ORDER BY expression: Sets the value of the ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement used to retrieve the content.  
  Select Top N files: Specifies the maximum amount of items to be selected. If empty, all possible items are selected.  
  WHERE condition: Sets the value of the WHERE clause in the SELECT statement used to retrieve the content.  
  Filter name: Sets the name of the Filter web part that should be connected.  
   

  System settings  
  Cache item name: Sets the name of the cache key used for the content of the web part. If not specified, this name is generated automatically based on the site, document path, Web part control ID and current user. A cache key can be shared between multiple web parts with the same content on different pages in order to avoid keeping redundant data in the memory.  
  Cache minutes: Sets the number of minutes for which the content of the web part should remain cached before its latest version is reloaded from the database. If left empty, the value entered into the Site Manager -> Settings -> System -> Performance -> Cache content (minutes) setting will be used instead. If set to 0, caching will be disabled for the web part.  
  Cache dependencies: Contains a list of cache keys on which the partial cache of the web part depends. When the specified cache items change, the partial cache of the web part is deleted. Each line may only contain a single item. If the Use default cache dependencies box is checked, the default dependencies will be used, which include all possible object changes that could affect the specific web part.
