getFiles returns every file in the folder

1. What you'll see

   An overview page, a menu or a sitemap builds its list with docly.getFiles("services"). Later someone adds a non-document file to the same folder – a redirect file after a page moved (Old-page.hash), or an icon uploaded next to the pages (icon-overview.svg). The next render shows a card titled Old-page.hash with a broken image, or the icon appears as if it were a page.

2. What's actually happening

   getFiles lists the folder, not a schema. Every item has fileschema: the schema name for documents (for example Tjenesteside), and values such as Code File for .hash files. Checks like x.Title do not help – non-document files also get a title (the file name).

   Observed on a live site: after two service pages were replaced by redirect files, the services overview grew two empty cards, and an uploaded SVG icon showed up as an extra item in a list of subpages.

3. What to do

   Do – filter on the schema you expect:

   let pages = docly.getFiles("services").filter(x => x.fileschema == "Tjenesteside");

   In a sitemap that covers several schemas, exclude code instead:

   let isDocument = (x) => x.fileschema != "Code File";
   #for (let item of docly.getFiles(folder).filter(isDocument)) {# … #}#

   Don't rely on x.Title, a file extension check on the URL, or the assumption that nobody will ever put anything else in the folder.
