Login twice #21

Hi!

I set it up with a password so you have to login when going to the web page, but when I go the media, it ask again for the same password (still showing. all the previews).

Is the second login necessary? If so, a different password would be nice or an option to turn it off. And not showing the preview until you log into the media section.

If not :-) can the second login be removed?

Thanks! Great program!

The password protects the directory the web pages are in and one login should be enough to grant access to any page in that directory. I don't get repeat login requests using Firefox, Chrome, etc under Linux unless I clear the browsing history/cookies.

But that did happen to me using IE on a friends Windows machine once. So I wonder if it is a security setting that you would need to set for your browser? I did not track down the issue at the time so I'm not sure.
