Hello!

It might be nice to have a "show all" pagination option. Sometimes it might be necessary.
Although pagination displays page by page, it seems to request the entire list of folders at once. Maybe it would be nice to get a limited number of folders (not all at once)?
The idea with pagination is good, but when you have thousands of files/folders, pagination takes an unrealistically long time to load. Can you try to get the number of files/folders (wc -l), and then get a limited number of files/folders in this list?

pagination command like: ls -la | head - {$page*$count+1} | tail -n {$count}
where +1 = total rows

-bash-4.2$ ls | wc -l
508030
-bash-4.2$ ls -la | head -6 | tail -n 5
