Bug ID: 494380
Summary: Add option to bypass KIO's "For security reasons,
launching executables is not allowed in this context."
warning the same way Windows allows you to bypass it's
SmartScreen warning.
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 6.7.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist

SUMMARY
When trying to run Outer Wilds through the Linux Outer Wilds Mod Manager and
giving it a non-Steam installation of Outer Wilds, KIO stops the game's
executable from running with the message "For security reasons, launching
executables is not allowed in this context.", which I'd like to completely
bypass as I know what I'm running is safe.
Deciding whether to run something or not should be up to the user (or system
administrator, which is me in this case), and no one else.
My suggestion would be to add a "Run anyway" button, simple as that. Put as
many warnings as needed, the end result should be the ability to run whatever
the user wants.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Outer Wilds Mod Manager for Linux.
2. Give it a non-Steam directory with Outer Wilds in it.
3. Get the error "For security reasons, launching executables is not allowed in
this context." when trying to launch the game.
OBSERVED RESULT
KIO stops the executable from running with the message "For security reasons,
launching executables is not allowed in this context."
EXPECTED RESULT
The game opens and runs.
