In this case I'd like to fire up a terminal, fix the permissions and
hit "Retry", but that button doesn't exist! ;)
May I file a feature request for a retry button?
Wouldn't it be more convenient if you didn't have to fire up a terminal?
That sounds pretty counter-intuitive to me. A better solution would be
to ask for the administrator password and /then/ retry.
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.
Ok, so a 'retry' button is the only simple solution/workaround if
determining if the root password would do any good will be too difficult?
