Only for this specific example. What if you're copying files from a network share and are having network problems? The root password won't help much here, but firing up a terminal, fixing the problem and then retrying would do the trick. There are lots of reasons that a file operation could fail and having root privileges won't fix them all. -b _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
