 * This plugin works great – in fact too well.
 * Is there a way I can selectively secure files? Without having to go into the 
   media library and change for each file?
 * Most of what is uploaded needs to be protected, but I have some files which must
   remain unprotected. At the moment I have to upload the files through the frontend,
   then go into the backend to unprotect them as the default is to protect. It would
   be great if I could assign certain upload fields (I am using Formidable Forms)
   to NOT protect the files uploaded, so it does not have to be a two stage process.
   Especially as this has to be done as administrator, and the users cannot upload
   unprotected files.
