I think netmax pointed it out.
- the possibility to give different passwords for each directory AND subdirectories
- the possibility to set a master-password for accessing all directories
example:
my foto-album structure would be the following:
- family
- school
- university
----- partyfotos
----- excursions
----- making of
- traveling
----- italia
----- united states
----- la palma
- photography
well, I have a couple of classmates at the university who shouldn't see the earlier fotos from the directory "school". then I have a couple of people who shouldn't see "la palma", because there could be some private photos from me and my girlfriend. And then, there are my parents and closest family, which should be able to view ALL directories, but the drunken faces on the partyshots. Then we have some guys from work, which should only be able to view the making of fotos from the university directory, and the photography directory. Well I think you got it now

.
the master-password function would be fine for the following case:
A friend asks you 3 different times about 3 different directorys which are all locked with 3 different passwords. The fourth time you get annoyed and you think "well, I'll give him the master-password for now, but tomorrow I'll change it" (providing that you want him to see ALL directories).
Okay, I think you got the idea

I also suggest that you make it really simple. Just a password field which pops up or fades in when you klick on the specific directory. NO User/Password field, because this would be way to difficult for the most user to keep it in mind, especially for myself.
Please DON'T make a global user/password login field. Because everytime when a specific user got just the password for "italy", but asks me if he could also see the "school" fotos, then he would have to "logout" and "re-login" with an account that works for the "school" fotos, but then he wouldn't be able anymore to see the "italy" fotos, except I make him an account that works for "italy AND school". This would be pure pain for the administrator (me) AND the user.
By the day you release this feature I'll buy imagevue instantly
