FileManager Grid View with paging

Is it possible to implement an option that enables the paging of the Grid View?

For example:

@(Html.Kendo().FileManager()
    .Name("filemanager")
     .Views(gridView => gridView.Grid(grid => grid.Pageable()))
     ...
)

Currently, employing the pageable functionality will place in a predicament other views. Such as the TreeView, as the records will be trimmed. Thus, preventing the option of seeing all of the items. Which inevitably is counterintuitive, as it defeats the purpose of the FileManager, as a simulated file system by having all of the files available in the TreeView at all times.

Those are the pros and cons:

Pros

  • Allowed paging capabilities for the Grid View in cases of a large volume of file records.
  • Implementing other functionalities that come with paging - such as Group Paging.

Cons

  • Heavily refactoring the FileManager jQuery widget.
  • Segregation of three data sources. Each for the: TreeView, Grid, and ListView representations.
  • Heavily refactoring the FileManager Wrappers as a consequence of the jQuery amendments.
  • Potential breaking changes.
