    The File Manager does not allow access to the files in manager/.  Never has.
    Not true, if you log into a MODx install, you can go to http://domain.com/manager/?a=31&mode=drill&path=/path/to/modx/manager to browse through the manager directory wink.

        When I say allowed, I mean showed it from the natural views in the manager a normal user would see, not as in security if you figured out a clever way to get past the exclusions.

        BTW sal, is this a bug report you entered somewhere or?

          Ah, no I didn’t bug report this. TBH I use it now and then so I consider it a useful bug, heh. Also I realise that security-wise it’s still relatively sound.
