Konqueror Ownership & permissions

[wreal_kool]

How can I use Konqueror while logged in with a nonroot user name to change the ownership and permissions of a folder/s or a file/s that is/are owned by root? Is there a way to sudo root & then use Konqueror to simplify the process of changing the owner & permissions of a folder/s and a file/s? or am I stuck using the command line to change the owner & permissions for multiple files in a directory?

TY in advance.

You can run Konqueror with sudo by entering 'kdesu konqueror' in the Run Command applet on the main menu (or by typing alt-F2). This can also be used to make a menu item or desktop shortcut

How do I make a shortcut that will load a Konqueror "view profile' that I saved earlier? I tried to create a shortcut, but it wouldn't work & whenever I load Konqueror with the default link, it always brings up a default view (i.e. not the custom view that I saved). I'd like to combine what you suggested with 'kdesu konqueror' and autoload the custom profile that I have saved. Do you know how I could do that?

TY in advance.

Re: Konqueror Ownership & permissions

that one is a little different.
The command is 'kfmclient openProfile <name-of-your-profile>', add 'kdesu' if needed

Thanks! That ^ works well with Alt-F2. I made a shortcut on the desktop by using the Create_New | Add Link to Application with the string 'kdesu kfmclient openProfile A1' and it opens a Konqueror window with the correct profile, however, it doesn't prompt me to input a password like the alt-F2 start procedure does. That seems like a Konqueror security flaw. It's of no great concern to me however, because I'm the only person who is using this system

Thanks again for your help!

p.s.: Where can I find the tips that you showed me? I looked in the Konqueror handbook/guide & I didn't see such information.
