I ran into what I think is a nuisances and a possible problem for people. The album covers are saved as .album.jpg within each album. Dot files are considered hidden files on a unix box. For sercurity reason, I have the following directive in my .htaccess file to block dot/hidden files. Please consider changing the filename of the album cover to not use a preceding dot.

<Files .*>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
</Files>

Gallery is software you would download to put onto your own website to host your own photos. We are not a photo hosting service.

@Rockinelle,

That's been brought up before, not for "security" reasons, but because some hosts just don't allow hidden files. It may change in the future, but isn't going to for at least this first release.

You could modify your rules to allow .album.jpg and disallow everything else.
