This is a very difficult issue because it amounts to a fairly major feature change underneath. Every access has to be wrapped by a permissions check, followed by an authentication. Someone tried to patch this into the file manager a while back, but the patch never got approved.

That's where most of the work happens, and that's where this bug has been prioritized out of scope for years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12154 Title: Nautilus should have a superuser mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/12154/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
