SUMMARY I updated my Tumbleweed distribution today, and suddenly, when clicking an executable that is marked as such, I start getting error messages saying that the file I clicked is an executable and that it "won't be run for security reasons" ("Es wird aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht gestartet.") STEPS TO REPRODUCE Update KDE I guess? OBSERVED RESULT I get denied executing the program. EXPECTED RESULT The program is run as normal. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Kernel 5.3.12-1-default (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I had the same problem on KDE Neon but just found a workaround (trying to translate the entries ...): 1. open Dolphin settings 2. click on the third tab (Bestätigungen/Confirmations) for the first entry on the left pane (Allgemein/General) 3. change the drop-down-menu at the bottom ("Beim Öffnen einer ausführbaren Datei:"/"When opening executable:") to "Immer nachfragen"/"Always ask" or "Skript ausführen"/"Run script" instead of "In Anwendung öffnen"/"Open in application" 4. it should work now I am not sure what the problem really was here ... "Reset to default settings" also did the job for me. But what does the "Open in application" really do? Does one need this setting? I guess this is not really a bug anymore, right?
