Root Actions

Version: 2.3 Root Actions allows a admin users to perform several root only actions from konqueror.

Open Terminal Here (folders) - open a root terminal session in chosen folder. Open in File Manager (folders) - open chosen folder(s) in file manager (default is konqueror). Open as Text (files) - open chosen folder(s) in text editor (default is kate). Open With ... (both) - open chosen items in a program of your choice. Copy (both) - copy a single file or folder (ADDED in 2.1). Move/Rename (both) - if multiple items selected and a batch renamer installed (default is krename) start renamer, otherwise use a simple move/rename dialog. Delete (both) - completely removes chosen items (as this is potentially hazardous, there is an extra confirmation dialog), handy for removing back-up files etc. Ownership to Root (both) - change ownership of chosen items to root:root. Ownership to Active User (both) - change ownership of chosen items to current user. Ownership to ... (both) - change ownership of chosen items to UID:GID of your choice. Change Permissions (both) - change permissions of chosen items.

If only a single folder is selected, permissions/ownership can be set recursively. If changing permissions recursively, files are only set executable if they already are executable (otherwise all files in a directory would be set executable if the parent folder is set executable, which is necessary for the folder to be accessible).
