Since many files and applications seem to need root for proper operation or for allowing edits and having to use the console is too inconvenient, I'd like to have right-click context menu options for Open file as root and Start application as root (and maybe also Create new file/folder as root) in nemo.What's the best way to add such context menu entries?Is there any reason to not add such?If there is none of significance why isn't it featured in the OS itself similar to the Run as administrator-option in Windows?I'm using Debian 9.0 with Cinnamon and its standard nemo file manager.Edit: User terdon informed me about the Open folder as root menu-entry which somewhat solves the Open file as root part.
