Description Luka Napotnik 2007-03-25 11:52:09 UTC 
Usually if I try to move/copy a file to a folder from another user thats write-protected a warning dialog shows. The only possible way now is to open a terminal and sudo cp the file. I want a dialog prompting a password for the user of the targeted folder.
