Password Protected Folders

[kobergj]

New menu point below New Folder called New Password Protected Folder

• On click:

  • Open Dialog that allows setting Foldername and Password
  • OPTIONAL: Allow configuring the permissions on the public link
  • Create a folder in the users personal space .PasswordProtectedFolders/projects/<space_name>/<path>/<to>/<folder>
  • Create a public link to this folder with the given password an view permissions (or the configured permissions)
  • Create a .url (?) file that points to the public link
  • Either use .ppf.url extension or a custom one

• On clicking the .url file:

  • Open the .url file in a splash screen.

• On delete of .url file the public link and the hidden folder will also be deleted.

• No other actions available on the .url file.

Rough estimate:

• create new app: 2
• extend extensions system to allow passing create folder actions: 5
• displaying dialog with folder name, password and link permissions: 3
• creating the hidden folder, .ppf.url file and public link: 5
• open folder in a popup: 3
• delete .ppf.url file together with the hidden folder and the public link: 2
• hide file extension and actions other than delete on the .ppf.url file: 3
