[Building Sakai] problem with the visibility of pictures when using the FCKeditor Resource Browser in Samigo

[John Leasia]

Seems like you would have to go to the Resources tool and use the Edit 
Details action to change the 'show' date (set a From date after which 
the file becomes visible) for the files uploaded through FCK.   If you 
uploaded all the items into a folder, you could just hide the folder 
(set the show date to the 20 days in the future).
