--- Comment #1 from L P Luigi Espenlaub <luigiwriter2 at gmail.com> ---
I also have this problem and a question.
Is the following warning true with Ubuntu 22.04?
"Running Dolphin with sudo can cause bugs and expose you to security
vulnerabilities. Instead use Dolphin normally and you will be prompted for
elevated privileges when performing file operations that require them."
If this is no longer true, please remove it.
or
add the code for being prompted for elevated privileges when performing file
operations that require them.
The latter would be safer, as it limits sudo to one operation instead of
applying to all operations including accidental ones until Dolphin is closed.
This is likely the original intention for the intended feature change which for
some reason was never completed.
Since Dolphin is the designated file manager for Ubuntu Studio at least it is
important it be fully functional, as using file managers not designed to be
specifically Ubuntu compatable could be more dangerous.
