Cinnamon Menu Editor | Xed does not open with admin privileges

[kimariterikishi]

Hi

I have noticed that when editing a .desktop file in the Cinnamon Menu Editor (cinnamon-menu-editor), it is not editable because the text editor does not get the proper admin rights to save the edited file.

The user cannot be expected to copy the launchers from "/usr/share/applications/" to "~/.local/share/applications/", although this is one solution to the problem.

Sytem: Linux Mint 20.2, Cinnamon
Default text editor: Xed

The application should detect whether the launcher in the user or system directory is being edited.

Thank you, best regards
