Description Antti Savolainen 2024-02-16 15:00:41 UTC

SUMMARY
It would be nice if the prompt would show up when right clicking on folders owned by other users. I have a waydroid folder in ~/.local/share/waydroid/data, some of the files are owned by the waydroid user and some of those have limited permissions for others. I would like to be able to access these files straight from the file browser


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have folders owned by other users
2. Right click them to use "Open as Administrator

OBSERVED RESULT
The option doesn't exist for these folders

EXPECTED RESULT
The option should appear
