Secure download of assets. Makes it possible to secure FE use of assets/files by setting permissions to folders/files for fe\_groups.

36592.0k4](/packages/beechit-fal-securedownload)[causal/image_autoresize

Simplify the way your editors may upload their images: no complex local procedure needed, let TYPO3 automatically resize down their huge images/pictures on-the-fly during upload (or using a command for batch processing) and according to your own business rules (directory/groups). This will highly reduce the footprint on your server and speed-up response time if lots of images are rendered (e.g., in a gallery). Features an EXIF/IPTC extractor to ensure metadata may be used by the FAL indexer even if not preserved upon resizing.
