Description alt.s2-0n4a6xh 2016-03-15 19:35:26 UTC 
Very often one uses "create new text file". This will often be a bash shell script or python source file. 

Would be nice if the filename dialogue already had a tick-box

"set the text file to EXECUTABLE" (file property / permission ATTRIBUTE), 

thus saving approx. 4 clicks each time.

Reproducible: Always

using that .desktop file is about the fastest way to do it.
