Hi rejetto
Thanks for continuing to look into this!
A friend and I were thinking that it would make sense to be able to give admin type users access to the root and they would automatically be able to browse down through the VFS structure. Then give restricted users access only to specific lower folders.
Except we actually ran into two problems with trying to do that.
1) The problem you and I are discussing here
2) Permissions given to the root don't automatically flow down (not inherited) if specific permissions are given to lower folders. It would be cool if there was an option that would allow that if desired, but of course it would be off by default so as not to suddenly change the permission structure of people's existing HFS setups.
I know #2 is actually a request, but I mention it here because it's necessary for what we'd like to be able to do. If you want, I can add it to the main board, which I guess is where requests/suggestions go..?
Edit: Can't the CSS templates come from the same place the HTML templates do?
