Hello Eugen,

I'm the author of this plugin.

More correctly, it should include a _link_ to the file. That nothing is
displayed hints at some error during evaluation of your path[1]. I'm
currently on the bughunt in this plugin[2], as it has some issues with
symlinks in the filesystem as well, so this might be the reason for the
problems you are encountering. If /path/to/your/file is not inside the
dokuwiki directory (DOKU_INC), that might also be the reason, as the
plugin does not allow access to files outside of the "Dokuwiki Jail"[3].

Kind regards,
  Gina 'foosel' Haeussge

[1] Simply displaying nothing in such a case sounded like a good idea at
the time of writing. I'll change that in the future, as it makes
debugging a bitch.

[2] Although it takes quite some time, as my day job didn't leave me
much time for private coding sessions the last two months.

[3] I wouldn't like the idea of some anonymous guest inserting a
{{filelist>/etc/*&style=table&direct=1}} on some publicly writable page
and thus hinting at what software is running on the webserver...
