 * I recently found this plugin. I don’t see this feature, not sure if I missed 
   it, but I’d like to be able to be able to set start/end dates on files for publication.
   Consider it like a post.
 * We have a file list that’s static, but we also release files that require x days
   publication prior to an event. Its not worth an actual post page, there is no
   story or news that needs to go with it, but the file does need to be “found” 
   on our site for x amount of time.
 * Any ability/consideration to add something like this, assuming default is “forever”
   so it won’t break files by existing users.

 * Thanks for the follow up.
    And if I may share my thoughts? Maybe you could consider
   defining a separate media category for the temporary files and have the WP_MCM
   shortcode filter on this category in the post describing the event? Best, Jan
