Description bugs5.kde.org 2015-05-30 07:18:19 UTC

I set my desktop to folder view and I have a few shell scripts there.

After my upgrade from KDE 5.3.0 on Kubuntu 15.04 to KDE 5.3.1 using the Kubuntu Team Backport PPA, the shell scripts open now in kate instead of being run as script.

Reproducible: Always

I'm seeing the same behaviour. Possibly related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348437 both could fundamentally be a problem with the desktop and not with Kate.

Comment 2 Marco Parillo 2015-05-30 10:45:41 UTC

Same for me, after upgrading to the backports PPA with Plasma 5.3.1. It did not happen when the backports PPA had only 5.3.

Comment 3 Olivier van der Toorn 2015-05-30 10:50:20 UTC

Same here, though here it tries to open the script with Okular for some reason.

After some investigation, the issue comes from kio-extras with this commit :
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kio-extras.git&a=commit&h=fe1f50caaf24c47000938c9ac36a7f9a304f3c96

(Tested on Arch)

Does that mean the product or component needs to change?

I can't reproduce this with current git for KF 5 and plasma-desktop. Double-clicking a "blubb" that's marked executable and starts with a shebang runs it fine here.

Comment 7 Siddhartha 2015-06-01 17:58:44 UTC

I think this is because of the kio settings for executable scripts.

Check if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kiorc has "[Executable scripts] behaviourOnLaunch=open".
Change 'open' to 'execute' for always executing scripts on clicking. Alternatively, remove the whole [Executable scripts] section, so that you get a prompt each time whether to execute or open the script.

Indeed, it seems to be fixed with the latest git.
