What do you think of an ‘Unlock button’ like the one of the time-admin app ?
The user open the permissions dialog. There is already a message “You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions.”. An ‘Unlock’ button give him the ability to bypass its user privileges to perform permissions change as root. I have made a mockup of what I think. ** Attachment added: "Mockup of an ‘Unlock’ button on the permissions dialog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36619164/Nautilus-PermissionUnlock-Mockup.png -- Nautilus should have a superuser mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
