 Hi,

 I build a site for many users (but not multisite) and find that in the
 media library (wp-admin/upload.php) the 'author'-user (not admin) can see
 the list of all files uploaded by other authors.

 It is not a problem in case users are close friends and the list is not
 large but it's unsuitable when users are competitors, also hundreds of
 other's pictures is a bother.

 Yes, current_user_can() prevents from editing or deleting pictures
 uploaded by other users but there is no need even see them here (or maybe
 make this feature switchable)?
