Description Gregor Mi 2016-01-03 13:36:01 UTC 
When an executable file is clicked there is a dialog with the following options: "Open", "Execute", "Cancel" which I find very useful.

There is a minor nag: the term "Open" is often used in the sense of "opening or starting a program or script" which is the opposite of what the button actually means.

I suggest to rename the "Open" button to "View / Edit".

With the new icons on "Open" and "Execute" the situation is much better. Thanks.
