Because I want to handle image files that should *not* be accessible 
directly in the browser.

I know there are some smaller solutions available in the TER but it can 
happen that the number of files becomes very big (> 100000 images) and 
so I think anything else than a management software isn't feasible.

To bring it to a point:

I want to handle a huge number of images (100000+) that are stored 
outside of the document-root. (FE is another problem that has to be 
solved later ;-) )


Greets,
