About the new permission "SuperUser":

Total Commander now requests the "SuperUser" permission for enhanced performance on rooted devices. This permission informs the SuperUser app that Total Commander supports root operations, providing write access to system directories like /system or /data. Non-rooted devices will not be affected by this feature. Any write action on a protected partition will prompt a warning before proceeding.
