Issue: disabling `frontMatter.dashboard.content.pagination` causes FM to "crash"

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

1. Set frontMatter.dashboard.content.pagination to false in the .frontmatter.json config file.
2. From the FrontMatter panel, click “Open dashboard”
3. FrontMatter dashboard opens for a moment and starts to display before going blank.
4. Set frontMatter.dashboard.content.pagination to true and the dashboard will display.

Expected behavior Expected dashboard to display my 1400+ posts…

Screenshots Here’s the dashboard with pagination enabled:

Pagination disabled:

• OS: MacOS 12.5.1
• Browser Chrome 104 and Safari 15.6.1

Yeah, that would work.

[estruyf]

It is a relatively new feature that got added in the last release. That is why you won’t find any options for it yet apart from turning it on/off.

A better experience would be to allow you to set the number of articles for pagination. Is that correct?

We can do this and also set like a max. value for the pages to show.
