    No,no attacker not recieve permissions, but idea not bad. I love Qt and this function for me needed for devleopment, because user also must be entering password.

      We have given you the alternative approaches for running setuid. Qt itself is not going to add anything in this area.

        Well then my development will be limited and I'll have to look for other ways to implement it.

          Gave you the 3 ways to implement it above in https://forum.qt.io/post/837390. Don't know what other ways you want or need, don't know why you don't pursue these. You seem to ask the question but not prepared to follow the suggestions. Up to you.

            @nicholas_ru Since you used GParted as an example, use the same technique they use.

              So a file template for a file template for an actual file? :D

                  I think he wants to run a process with administrative privileges by showing a UAC (User Account Control) dialog. This is what, for example, balenaEtcher does when it needs to burn a drive. Is this correct?

                    @kaixoo If you read the OP is under Linux, so there is no such thing as "UAC".

                        Torvalds allowed Rust into the kernel (2022) but not C++.

                          Don't know what you're saying, but the ability to set or change user privilege has nothing to do with C++ and really little to do with programming.

                            It's talk about them, that code must be easy, and user permissions change must be flug also easy.

                              If changing user permissions were that easy, it would defeat its purpose.

                                        I don't get your point. Can you explain this more clearly ?
                                        AFAIK, there's nothing LXDE specific. This project is essentially a wrapper around polkit which handles the "sudoing" part.
