Bug ID: 416973 Summary: Dolphin won't run binaries or scripts, even when set to always ask on opening, and the binary or script is executable Product: frameworks-kio Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: fa...@kde.org Reporter: kyle.de...@mykolab.com CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 125564 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=125564&action=edit Visual of bug SUMMARY Recently, I noticed that Dolphin was always complaining with "The file <such and such> is an executable program. For safety it will not be started.", even when Dolphin is set to always ask when I click an executable binary. For scripts, it will just always open them in kate. I decided to do some digging, and I think it might be caused by some odd bug in this commit: 2bb58858c8f6f37b82028bdbc86c19e9acfd71f2, "Added dialog to set execute permission for executable file when trying to run it.", author Marcin Dłubakowski<m.dlubakow...@gmail.com> STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set "Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> General -> Confirmations -> When opening an executable file:" to "Always ask" 2. Set binary or script to be executable. 3. Click on binary or script in Dolphin. OBSERVED RESULT "The file <such and such> is an executable program. For safety it will not be started.", always. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin asks whether I would like to execute or run the binary or script.
