Hi Christian,
browsing container with a large number of object (e.g. 100 000)
its content is displayed as a set of "grouped items" (you will see
a set of special icons in the right part of browser).
fGroupSize determines a number of items in each group.
To find in which group specific item is located you can either invoke
search dialog by clicking Ctrtl-F F7 keys or determine from
a name of the group which is "name_of_first_item-name_of_last_item".
This is done to make browsing of large containers to be effective.
You can disable this feature by setting fGroupSize to some very large
number, e.g. 100 000 000.
Regards. Valeriy
