Description SaburoutaMishima 2013-07-19 15:06:54 UTC
Any text file with an executable bit cannot be opened with the left mouse button or enter. It does not matter what preferences the user sets. It does not matter what program is set to open the file. Even if the "executable" tag ( re: <sub-class-of type="application/x-executable"/> ) part of the freedesktop.org.xml is manually stripped from the configuration, it does not matter. It does not matter what default file associations are set IN DOLPHIN. No matter what the user does, the user's preferences are 100% ignored by Dolphin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open dolphin
2.Open any text file with 'x' permission for the current user
Actual Results:  
Nothing. Literally nothing.

Expected Results:  
Anything. Especially the file opening.

There are several fixes floating around out there, but they only seem to work for "*.sh" files. Python and LUA files, for example, seem to be unfixable. Furthermore, several of the fixes require manually editing files that no one should be manually editing, or require being able to disable executable permissions which is not possible in certain situations (ie, not all filesystems support normal permissions granularity).

I feel a file manager should be able to open files.
