Description David Dempster 2009-01-16 14:40:29 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have some extra partitions that I want to be mounted under /media and available to all users (not mounted in my home directory).  This means that they get mounted as root.  To do anything with the files graphically, I have to open Dolphin as root.  Wouldn't be better if I could use my ordinary Dolphin window, but choose ‘paste as root’ in those directories for which I have no permissions?  Dolphin would then prompt me for my password.

Or better "open as root" for arbitrary directories
Comment 2 Daniel Semblano 2009-10-27 06:03:39 UTC 
Man, this would be great! How many times I wish use dolphin for everything root related, instead betake a terminal for it. Paste, copy, move, remove as root would be very much appreciated.
