Anything goes - Root Service Menu for Konqueror

Titel: Root Service Menu for Konqueror

I found this little pearler while playing around with Freespire. It is odd that I found it there seeing as how they run as root by default but there ya go.
Just download this, open it and copy the three files into /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
What you get is this:

While I'm at it; i have realised that if you use a totally different colour scheme for your root user than your normal users then it is obvious when you have a root filemanager open and not a user one. It can save a lot of headaches.

**Edit** I just had to change the picture from that cheesy Freespire one to this one of Kanotix with XGL. Winken

Much better

I'm sorry, i'm kind of new at all this and very little experience with Linux in whole. Seems anytime i start to make any progress i get stopped by "permission denied" I can't seem to log in as root, so i really am having a hard time learning how to use this OS.

You mentioned to just drop the files in to a folder that is owned by the root. How do I get around this?

@cathbard: I loaded the file you suggested, unpacked it and put the contents into /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus -
and what to do now - presently nothing has changed on my PC-
is there an additional step or command necessary to effect the expected changes of the desktop?
thanks

great idea Cathbard Smilie

hope we can find that in the next Kanotix release!

i copied the three files only for my user, so i will still have that service menu when i copy my home to another machine or a new installation. the folder for only one user is:

Code:

/home/user/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

it worked immediately, no logout was needed.

I have added an option to the root's actions servicemenu to create a directory as root, maybe someone finds it useful too:

[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=inode/directory
Actions=MkdirAsRoot

[Desktop Action MkdirAsRoot]
Name=create directory as root
Name[de]=Verzeichnis als root erstellen
Icon=folder_red
Exec= sudo mkdir `kdialog --inputbox "Please enter name of new directory:" "%U/"`

And regarding different colors for root - why not additionally use a special root icon theme with red folders?

gs hat folgendes geschrieben::

Once you copy the files into the directory it adds a service menu item when you right click on some blank area inside konqueror like the picture shows.

I do use different icons for root user but those look very appropriate. DL'ing them now Winken
