[Interest] Removing files/folders in /Applications under macOS

[Roman Wüger]

@thiago: it works with sudo when I do something like „sudo /Applications/MyBundle.app/Contents/MacOS/MyBundle“ but not if I try „sudo open /Applications/MyBundle.app“

Normally when I empty my trash, where an application was moved into the trash, then a dialog appears to enter the credentials of a privileged user.

I thought this can also be done with Qt - call a default dialog for this situation.

Regards
Roman
