FileGroup

The FileGroup object exposes information about a file group (when the file display is set to group by a particular column). The Tab.filegroups property returns a collection representing the current file groups in that tab, and the Item.filegroup property returns the current file group of a particular item.

Note: If you need to find which file type group a file is part of, rather than how the file is grouping based on currently visible columns, see the FiletypeGroup object instead.

Property Name	Return Type	Description
<default value>	string	Returns the name of the group.
collapsed	bool	Returns True if the group is currently collapsed.
count	int	Returns the number of items in this group. Note that groups can be empty; empty groups are not displayed in the file display but will still be returned by the Tab.filegroups property.
id	int	Returns the id number of this group. Id numbers are arbitrary - you shouldn't place any meaning on the actual value, but you can compare the id fields as an easy way to tell if two items are in the same group.
members	object:Items	Returns an Items object that represents all the files and folders in this group.
type	string	Returns a string indicating the collation type of the group.
