Thanks smacdonald2008, but that's a different component. You will see that the one that I'm using on my example has the ability to search which is a key once you are working with a big number of assets.
Exactly, that's what I mean. I think search is now working correct on the Pathfield, you should be able to find only pages or assets as an author user (not child nodes as jcr or metadata nodes).
I tried that before, but it was producing the same behaviour. Filter does not make any difference on how the search is working for pathfield. You can check the code if you want.
