# Feature: #45725 - Added recursive option to folder based file collections

See [forge#45725](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/45725)

## Description

Folder based file collections have now an option to fetch all files recursively for
the given folder. The option is also available in the TypoScript Object `FILES`.

Usage:

```typoscript
filecollection = FILES
filecollection {
	folders = 1:images/
	folders.recursive = 1

	renderObj = IMAGE
	renderObj {
		file.import.data = file:current:uid
	}
}
```
