Title:
Nautilus default behaviour for executable scripts is poor
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This is a papercut / quality of life issue that's really annoying me.
On other file managers, if you set an .sh file as executable, it will
offer to do something. With Ubuntu + Nautilus, it always by default
just opens it in a text editor. This is really annoying and frankly a
bad default to have.
I know there's the right click menu to run as program, but since
Ubuntu is trying to appeal to the masses here, good default behaviour
is needed IMO.
Example: you download a Linux game from GOG, you make it executable
and then you double click to run -> wait a while as text editor tries
to load a multiple GB installer .sh script, which is made with
MojoSetup (it's a graphical app).
Other file managers first ask what to do with a box like: "run? open
as file? run in terminal?". Ubuntu should ideally do this too.
I just don't think auto-opening big .sh executable files by default,
in a text editor, is very good for users.
