Notes
- The returned column list reflects the effective preference: folder-specific user setting → user global setting → system default, in that priority order.
- When no setting has been saved for the user and folder, the system default columns are returned (
ItemName, DocumentSize, DocumentFormat, ModificationDate, OwnerName).
propertySetId="0" means no custom property set is associated.
