--- Comment #6 from Terry Forsythe <terry.forsy...@iplawpro.com> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Your preferred scale factor is stored in your home directory. > > When you open Dolphin as the root user, it reads settings from the root > user's home directory, not yours. > > If you want to be able to manage root-owned files using Dolphin and keep > your user settings in the process, I *strongly* recommend installing > kio-admin and using that instead of launching Dolphin as root. kio-admin is working fine in my Neon system. kio-admin is not in the official Arch repository, so I installed it from the AUR on my Arch system. But in Arch kio-admin keeps prompting me to enter my password to open files that should not need a password to be accessed (e.g., files in my home directory and files on my NAS). Maybe kio-admin is not completely compatible with Arch, or there is a configuration file somewhere that needs to be tweaked. I don't know. In the terminal I searched for a kio-admin man page, but my system did not find one. Anyway, to solve this issue in Arch I logged in as root and changed the Global scale to the desired scale. Logged in as myself I reinstalled "Open as Root". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
