I think to be consistent Public folders should be viewable and downloadable when logged in as a member. Include the "Public" badge to make it clear. So , like an access control scheme: Public < Members < Officers
Explanation:
We have multiple download folders, using the access control that FTH provides (Public, Members, Officers)
I have a folder that is "Public" but when logged in as a member I can't see it. The file manager says "anyone can download", but that isn't quite true: members can't. They have to switch to the Public page. This is confusing.
When logged in as a member, and as a club officer, I see the "Officers" folders (with the badge) and "Members" folders. This makes sense. This behaviour just needs to be expanded to include the Public folders.
Other than that it's a great system. Thanks!
PS an alternative is to change the File Manager text "Public -- anyone can download" to "Public users only"
