It is now possible to save a file as admin if the permissions are not sufficient to save it (you can NOT create new files or folders as admin currently). From the error message when saving fails, a new "Retry as Admin" option allows to do so.
Under the hood, the sudo-prompt module is leveraged to spawn the code CLI script with parameters to write to the target file that needs special permissions.
Note: on Windows, any file in the programs directory needs admin permissions and on other OS, for example /etc/hosts.
Verify:
- you can save as admin and the contents are written to disk
- errors are handled gracefully (e.g. cancelling the admin prompt)
- Windows: you can even save "readonly" and/or "hidden" files and these properties are preserved (you can enable the properties from the first page of the properties dialog on a file). When saving readonly files, first pick the option to "Overwrite" from the error message and then "Overwrite as Admin"
Note: you will need to authenticate each time you save, we do not keep any admin process around.
