--- Comment #9 from Sasha Unspecified <sasha2...@gmail.com> --- I write here, because somebody marked bug 162417 as duplicate of this one. Ideal solution (as for me) is the following: * user clicks "start root-mode krusader" in the menu; * the current instance of krusader, before launching anything, first looks for a special flag in the current user settings: "Do the current user likes the root-mode krusader to use the same settings or settings from the root user?" (as for me, the first should be default — but I don't insist on that, because opinions may vary); * depending on the value of that flag in current-user settings, the current instance of krusader launches a new root-mode instance of krusader either in a way that it continues to use current user settings, or in a way that in uses settings from the root user; * (this behavior should be platform-independent; i.e. whether root-mode krusader uses current user settings or root user settings should depend on a value of the flag in the current user settings — not on the platform; I believe that every platform allows both ways) * (this requires a new flag to be introduced into user settings) * (additionally, root-mode krusader, when it uses non-root-user settings, may need to be careful not to overwrite user settings with wrong rights (i.e. to create files in user's config dir owned not by root, but by the inherited user) — if needed to create something — but it may be a matter of a separate bug-report if such case arises) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
