[TYPO3-english] FAL: Right way of doing?

[Mikel]

Hi Benni,

thanks for your reply :-)

I guess I understood your "logic". But to be honest: I don't know which 
Repository to take. But it must be something like that, right?
$collection = new \TYPO3.....\Resource\Repository;
$collection->findByUid(2)->loadContents();

The file collection is a "Static selection of files".
