Bug ID: 513612
Summary: Dolphin thinks a binary executable is a desktop file
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Binary files with .Desktop at the end are treated as desktop files instead. For
example builds of this PR:
https://github.com/UnderminersTeam/UndertaleModTool/pull/2126. The tendency to
slap .Desktop is either something from Avalonia or dotnet, since that's not the
first time I encounter it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get an executable and add .Desktop at the end of it's name
2. Double-click the executable
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin tries to open it with an editor
EXPECTED RESULT
Binary executables should not be treated as other file types based on their
suffix.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Aside from simple confusion, it also kinda makes them impossible to execute
without opening a terminal, even though Dolphin recognizes "Content:
Executable".
