I can confirm this. It did work before though, yet I am not sure when it broke because I use that feature very seldom. i'm pretty sure it never worked in kde4 =) Same problem here. Would like to see that fixed for 4.1. I mean it is an option there and it doesn't work that is confusing. If it could not fixed until 4.1 the option should get removed i think. Ok, as this feature got removed with the new krunner, i think this could be closed. It isn't a bug anymore. If someone still wants this feature write a wish report (if not already there). There you go, it's now a wishlist. Originally reported downstream athttps://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447903 *** Bug 171272 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I feel sorry this feature has been dropped in KDE 4 because I use it *all* the time for opening Kate as root so I can change some system config files. But it's not just for Kate, it also helps when I want to kompare some root owned files with Kompare, open some other apps that I can't think of now that are not in sbin in the same fashion... I really wish this feature to be re-implemented. Dom huh. the options are there if you go into the config... but the username and password aren't saved, and the run-in-terminal option just doesn't work. looks like some bugfixing is needed here... but once it's fixed, that's still an awkward way of setting such options. I wonder if there's a better way of offering runner options without them getting in the way when they're not needed? not to mention that the text is cleared when the config changes are applied, which isn't very nice if you decide to run something in a terminal *after* you type it... Now invalid, since it's in config part of krunner. |
