[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Password protect a gallery / image / album

Hello there,

First of all I have to say that this is a great plugin. I love it, it is easy to use, very user friendly and efficient.

Anyways, my issue is not a problem, but more of a request for a new feature. What I would like is to be able to password protect an image, gallery or album in the post, page or wherever the image, album or gallery is.

Take this for example: I have a blog about web development and programming and on the side I also post about my travels and I post pictures of where I have been. Up to now I have only posted pictures of buildings, plants and scenery of the places I have been to. But I would also like to posts pictures of myself, my family and friends. But I do not want everybody to see the pictures, just those that I give a pswd to. Additionally, I don’t want to hide the post. I would like everybody to read about my travels, but only a select few to see the pictures.

What would be nice, is an option to protect the gallery with a password in the ‘Manage Gallery’ section. The post would be displayed, but in order to see the pictures a visitor would have to enter the password.

I hope you can help me out.
