https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387042 Nate Grahamchanged: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC||pointedst...@zoho.com --- Comment #2 from Nate Graham --- 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!
