Today I wanted to play an old game, so I went to the directory with dolphin, double clicking causes an error. "For security reasons, launching executables is not allowed in this context." Why? That's what "executable" file property is for. Is this intentional? If yes, then why again?
Could you please say where the dir is located and what the file permissions are?
Phew, so it's not a new feature then. Well, I can't open any files with double clicking, some are in my home area, some under /media subfolders. /home is on ext4 /media runs on xfs Example file from /home/me/documents/game/ drwxr-xr-x 12 me me 4096 2021-02-14 game -rwxrwxrwx 1 me me 14383616 2005-06-07 gta_sa.exe Example file from /media/steam/Doom 3/ drwxr-xr-x 6 pepko pepko 210 2020-03-06 'Doom 3' -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 5840896 2020-03-01 Doom3.exe Those files open if I do "open with" from context menu, however there seems to be some regression in how wine loads shared libraries. Which may be unrelated.
Created attachment 142744 [details] screenshot with an error That's what I get from dolphin output when trying to start an .exe: kf.service.services: KApplicationTrader: mimeType "x-scheme-handler/file" not found
Is that a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442721 ?
It started working on a new user account. Must be something to do with my crusty profile. Marking as worksforme, I guess it's time to rebuild my home directory again.
