Hi, would be great to add an opportunity to hide the tinyfilemanager.php in the overview, so you can't delete them from it's own code.

My suggestion to hide the tinyfilemanager.php is the same of this answer.

And, to avoid an accidental or intentional delete, we can use Linux chattr. A simple command like chattr +ai tinyfilemanager.php. The only inconvenience is change the file attributes in every single modification on $auth_users array inside the file.

and the other people who changed the filemanager's name? In my opinion this request is completely useless ... it could make the file hidden by changing the permissions but this would also affect the other hidden files ... as .htaccess ...

Now can hide files and folders using exclude_items
i.e. $GLOBALS['exclude_items'] = array('FileName.ext', 'FolderName');
