Root Browsing Gnome - 2007-03-30 01:42:36

Root File Browser

One thing that I really think should be added as default in Gnome is the root file browser. So often one needs to adjust permissions or move/copy a file outside the home area.

Setup Link

A quick and easy way to set up a link is to edit a new file:
"gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nautilus-root.desktop" and add the following:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=File Browser (Root)
Comment=Browse the filesystem with the file manager
Exec=gksudo "nautilus --browser %U"
Icon=file-manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;System;
