What's the advantage of the GNOME approach. What problem does it solve compared to how we do it? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > What's the advantage of the GNOME approach. What problem does it solve > compared to how we do it? IMO it is better UX when the user is prompted for the password after he/she enter the path. The user shouldn't be interrupted while he is typing the file or folder path. It makes for a more non intrusive experience. Thanks. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > Thanks. It is a problem because the system asks them for a password even before they have typed in "admin://" (it asks them after typing "admin:" instead) so they mistakenly end up typing the "/" in the password field which stole the input field focus so they couldn't completely type "admin://". Users of GNOME and Cinnamon would do this as their admin protocol asks for the password after the user types in "admin://" as described above.
