Is the Options directive in the root .htaccess file important?

[LonelyPixel]

I have disallowed the Options directive on my web server for security reasons. (Most of it would be fine but the Options directive also allows values that would be unsafe, so the only solution is to disable it altogether.)

The new release 0.6 contains an Options directive in the root .htaccess file, with the value "NoIndex". I had to comment out that line to make it work. Is this line important? Are all directories also protected by local index.html files? Or will I have to add them now everywhere?

You just have to look in the directories to see they are not.....

Or will I have to add them now everywhere?

You could just put the directive in your apache vhost config file rather than .htaccess, then you don't have to make any new files.
