Smart Folder skips some documents on WebDAV, FTP and SMB

Hello!

I have a problem with smarfolder in the WebDAV, FTP and SMB. Smart folder works perfect in the Share and in the ACA web interfaces. But the WebDAV and other skip some documents. There are about 1500 documents in the search request. Node browser search returns all documents by the request from template. Share and ACA search page found all documents. But the WebDAV miss several documents. In the node browser the missing documents looks like the same as another visible documents. The difference only in name and data of creation/modification. The custom model declare the custom type and custom property which are in the request. All indexed.

There is the part of smart folder template with request. It is in the "Repository > Data Dictionary > Smart Folder Templates"

{ "name": "Images", "nodes": [ { "id": "01", "name": "Cad pictures", "nodes": [ { "id": "011", "name": "CAD", "search": { "language": "fts-alfresco", "query": "+TYPE:'mc-doc:documentFile' AND PATH:'/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:mysite/cm:documentLibrary/cm:CAD_x0020_images//*' AND mc-doc:language:'English' AND NOT mc-doc:valid:true" } }, {...}, {...} ] }, {...} ] }

I tried the fileServersNG SMB module and it have the same issue with exactly the same documents.

The tested repo versions: 7.2.2, 7.4.1, 25.2.0

Would be really appreciate for any advice how to resolve it. I need network disk on Windows client.

Thanks, Serge

The issue was in the folder size limitation. This property resolve the problem:

webdav.folder.listing.limit=2000
