I am currently using your Essential JS 2 FileManager component in a project and have found it to be extremely helpful. However, I've encountered a situation where I require more selective control over what types of items can be selected - specifically, I need the ability to only select files and not folders.


In the current implementation, both files and folders can be selected by users. While this serves many use cases effectively, there are scenarios where we need to restrict selection to files only. For instance, in an application where users are required to select one or more files to perform certain operations (like uploading, downloading, or previewing), allowing folder selection might not be applicable and could potentially confuse end users.


Therefore, I propose the addition of a new feature or property in the FileManager settings, something like "selectableItemTypes", where developers could specify what types of items are selectable. This property could accept values like 'All', 'Files', or 'Folders', giving us the flexibility to control selection behavior as per our application requirements.
