Bug ID: 444046
Summary: Create with Elevated Privileges
Product: dolphin
Version: 21.08.2
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mart...@martinojones.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When in a directory where the user does not have permission, could we have the
ability to create a file/folder and Dolphin prompt for a password to execute
that task as root. Right now, if I want to create a new folder in /mnt, I have
to use the command line. It would be great if Dolphin had this capability
builtin.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the mnt directory
2. Right-Click to try and create a folder
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
When right-clicking in a folder, there's no ability to elevate to root
privileges.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin determins user does not have permission, and instead the option
displays
Create New (elevated)>
