Folder feature image "Choose a Photo" interface

Is this what the "Choose a Photo" interface is supposed to look like when selecting a feature photo for a folder?? All the galleries in the folder below are password protected - maybe this is not a problem for folders containing public galleries.

    I just tested this on my site by making a Gallery password protected. Once in the Gallery, I went to its Gallery Settings > Basics > Feature, and did not see what you're seeing. Are you still seeing this view?

    Thanks for your response Bobby.

    Yes, but the scenario you tested is not what I'm referring to. What I'm trying to do is select a feature photo for a FOLDER which contains password protected GALLERIES. I can set the feature photo for the protected galleries fine (the interface here shows thumbnails of the photos in the gallery). When I try to select a feature photo for a folder containing protected galleries, the interface still looks like the image I posted - just blank protected gallery icons with a caption too short to see the gallery name:

    It should look like what I see in Organizer - a thumbnail for each gallery with the gallery feature photo and the FULL gallery name displayed:

    I can blindly drill down into a gallery in the folder and select a feature photo for the folder, but it is not displayed to visitors on my home page when the folder is in a "Folders, Galleries & Pages" content block **EDIT: I've found that the feature photo will display for visitors as long as "External Embedding" is turned on for the gallery in which the photo resides.

    To restate the problem: when selecting a feature photo for a FOLDER which contains password protected GALLERIES, the "Choose a photo" UI does not display enough information to identify the galleries to choose from:

    Is this not a problem for anyone else?

    Yes, I'm having the same issue. Why can't a pic from the gallery be displayed?
    After all, this is Admin mode not visitor mode.

    I don't know whether this needs to be moved to "Feature Request" or "Bug Reporting", but it needs someone's attention - the current user interface to choose a feature photo for a FOLDER containing password protected galleries is virtually unusable.
