I don't think the Don't count as Download option is working correctly. If it is, tell me what I'm doing wrong. I also believe that a person should be able to select "any" file within a folder to not count as a download, but that option isn't available to individual files.
IMPORTANTok folks, in private we clarified this issue.
There's no a bug, just misunderstanding.
The "Don't count as download" feature is referring to the global counter.
Every file has a counter, and it is displayed in the HITS column.
But there is a global counter, you can read it in the tray icon.
The extra images in your template you were talking about, are normally hidden, you don't want to show them in file listing. So what's the point in preventing HFS from counting the "hits" of that files. It is not shown, so preventing counting is not useful.
More than one user falled in this pit, anyway. If you want to suggest a better label to put in the menu, let me know.
