with front-end protection enabled, the sigpro galleries do not show...

these are my exceptions:

components/com_k2/k2.php
components/com_k2/js/k2.js
media/k2/galleries
components/com_uddeim/captcha15.php
components/com_virtuemart/fetchscript.php
administrator/components/com_extplorer/fetchscript.php
plugins/system/GoogleGears/gears-manifest.php
plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/jw_allvideos_scripts.php
plugins/content/jw_sigpro/sigpro.engine.php
plugins/content/jw_sigpro/sigpro.download.php
administrator/components/com_akeeba/restore.php
administrator/components/com_admintools/restore.php

and these are the diretories listed for front-end allowed exceptions:
components
modules
templates
images
plugins
media

With front-end protections disabled they work fine...

the front-end protections are currently "off" or "no"...

I don't have SIGPro available for testing right now, but I suspect something. Try turning off the anti-leech protection for images outside images/stories option. If that doesn't help, you can see exactly which files are being blocked by following the instructions in http://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/admin-tools/server-protection.html#determine-required-exceptions

I am sorry, I can't do that myself at the moment because I'm stuck with a dead slow 3G connection since I have a severe ADSL issue. The ADSL service was cut off throughout the city because the telephone company's cables are FUBAR since Saturday evening. They told me that they'll fix it by Wednesday, but I don't feel that optimistic...

I think it is solved...the "cache" directory had to be added to the list...however it does not work if added to the "front-end directories" list, but rather requires the "cache/" to be added to the "exceptions/files" list...
Or, added to the exceptions/direct access to directories

There seems to be a bug in the directories exclusion. I am working on that and will publish a developer's release with the update, most likely sometime today.
