thanks

not that we're aware of, but it's certainly possible to write one... we can provide guidance in doing so..

take a look at randomhighlight as an example.. it does similar things to what you want: add an ItemEditOption in the Album tab that lets you pick a date (look for html_select_date in modles/core/templates/ItemEditItem.tpl for how to pick a date); the ItemEditOption will add an onLoadHandler to the GalleryAlbumItem.. when the album is loaded it will run that handler which checks the current date against the expire date and makes permissions changes if needed (and removes the onLoadHandler once this happens..)
