Bug ID: 461064
Summary: Execute as a default behavior when opening a script
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mnonw742...@protonmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Having confirmation dialog confusing to new user
The executable permission and open with context menu is already doing this job
for most people
Having a "do not ask again" doesn't help much either
Let's say, if the user click open the first thing they see is a confirmation
dialog
Like most people having to do it everytime they run something on his own
computer sound annoying
they will click the "do not ask again" checkbox as a next step
because most people read left to right user will see "open" first and think
"open" has the same meaning
as "run" or "execute"
the file will open in a text editor, the user is confused and next
the user will search for a solution and find out than in order to run a script
you have to enable execute permission
the user open properties dialog and found out that the executable permission is
already enabled
the same user will again search for a solution and find out that he have to set
the behavior for script execution as open
for a first time setup this behavior consist of too many steps
This is a nice feature as I'm using it myself but i think it should be opt-in
and remove the "do not ask again" checkbox along with it if the former was
possible would be a great addition
