No Assets in Dropbox FAL when Template included

[Dominik Tomé]

I am using fs_media_gallery from 1.4.7 and updated it to 2.0.1 and still have following Issue:

When i create all the Parts needed - a Storage Folder, Media Albums and the Plugin - and DO NOT include the template for "fs_media_gallery" in my TS Setup, everything works just fine. I get a flattend Album List in Frontend with all Albums and Assets.

As i include the template into my TS Template, all Albums from my external FAL-Storage (Dropbox in this case, extension: fal_dropbox) are no longer recognized. With "Hide empty Albums" set to "NO" it still shows the albums, but with no assets. When i exclude the template again, everything is back to "normal".

I am using Typo3 8.7.24, PHP 7.2.15, fal_dropbox 3.0.2, fs_media_gallery 2.0.1. Maybe there is an Issue with external FAL-Storages? Or specially with Dropbox?

The issue will be that list.hideEmptyAlbums is default set to true in the default typoscript file.

probably the dropbox extension didn't fully implement all FAL methods with the result that the assetCount() results to 0 and the album gets hidden

somehow the
