Filer should invoke sudo whenever it needs administrative privileges, and "just do" the action. (Technically, Filer could run a command line helper tool to perform the actual action, via sudo -A -E. No complicated PolKit please!)

"Open as root" is a fallback, but not really the best user experience.
