Description
This patch extends the filebrowser module:
1. allow users to delete files using the drupal access system (admin/access) to determine privleges, and it checks to make sure that the file being deleted is within the filebrowser root.
2. add an option to disable the display of hidden files (files that begin with a period such as .htaccess).

#1
This patch does not, but should, also delete the attachment from the node.
#2
This new updated patch also deletes the attachment from the node.
#3
It is unlikely that I am going to submit this patch, since the intention of this module is not to list the node attached files, but to provide an FTP like (albeit somewhat enhanced) view of a folder of files. Users interested in file deletion functionality would probably be interested in setting up this as an addon. The Filebrowser extensions project deals with such extensions for this module.
Recategorizing for that module.

Given that this was a 4.7.x issue, Gabor's comment from almost a year ago, and that I have a VERY long issue queue, I'm closing the issue as "won't fix."
