Description Vincent PENNEC 2006-08-31 00:19:02 UTC 
I'd like to be able to copy files to special locations (/usr/share/[icons,fonts...]) without the need to sudo a new nautilus.

Maybe there could be a popup that asks you to enter "credentials" :
. just the time to copy the files (= "one shot")
OR
. to launch a new nautilus (because you plan to do a lot of file operations)

to launch

Yes this would be very handy.
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-04-04 13:57:58 UTC 
This could be done with PolicyKit integration.
