Hi all, I have read in the wiki that the deep linking in G3 is prohibited by an .htaccess file. First of all if you do a recursive blocking of "Everybody" permission only the root album will get the .htaccess file. So I manually copied it to all albums as I haven´t got any public ones. And it really keeps you from listing the directory. But if you know the filename of the image you can still access it without a problem, .htaccess present or not, via a direct URL to it. Did I configure something wrong?? Regards Twilek Update: Gallery was smarter than I was. It noticed that I had a session running as an admin and gave access, when I logged out access was blocked. But the issue with the recursive setting of the .htaccess file remains |

The .htaccess file covers all subdirectories too, so if one exists at a higher level it will protect images at a lower level also. To verify it, create an album hierarchy like this: A -> B -> C.
Mark B as hidden from Everybody. var/albums/C should not have a .htaccess file, but guests should not be able to see images inside of it even if you create a link directly to the image. If that's not working, then we have a bug that needs to be fixed.

What can I say? Works like a charm. Even after I removed all .htaccess and only left the one in the albums dir
