It would be great to password protect the remote access features
to reduce network bandwidth overload and keep family pictures
private.

Still getting great enjoyment out of the product though!

    I'll look into this. In the meantime, there is a hidden
    feature to filter out pictures you don't want displayed by
    Remote Access.

    1. Create a sub-folder in one of your managed folders. Give
    this folder a distinct name.

    2. Quit ChangeDesktop and the Daemon.

    3. Open the CD preferences file in a text editor and add the
    following lines at the top of the file, right after the very
    first "<dict>" entry. (Assuming you want to filter the
    MyFamily and MyPrivate folders.)

    <key>RemoteAccessFilters</key>
    <array>
    <string>MyFamily</string>
    <string>MyPrivate</string>
    </array>

    You may add as many "string" entries as you want to the array.

    Using this, any file path containing the phrase(s) you
    specify will be ingored by Remote Access (but will still be
    available for display on the Desktop).
