--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> ---
It looks like you're referring to a 3rd party extension that is not officially
supported. The way it appears to work is by running GUI apps as root. This is
inadvisable from a security perspective, and downright prohibited in Wayland,
which is why we are moving to using Polkit. The good news is that once Polkit
is fully implemented, there will be no need for this extension at all: you just
use Dolphin to do what you want, where you want, and if that thing happens to
require elevated permissions, then you will be prompted.
For this to happen, support for Polkit needs to go into KIO, which is tracked
by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179678.
The good news is that it's almost done! See https://phabricator.kde.org/T6561
