Description Martino 2021-10-19 13:41:52 UTC
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)>

Already in the works I guess. But it's going rather slow
