Nautilus Gksu Plugin: Add "open as administrator" in the right-click menu"

Previously, I wanted a right-click menu option (in nautilus File Manager) to open the file/directory as an administrator ). The reason is that I have to return sudo to the command line terminal for every operation that requires root permission. This is not to say that I am not used to command line, but I still want to have at least something equivalent to sudo or su. I searched around and found a nautilus plug-in-Nautilus-Gksu.
