Bug ID: 467663
Summary: Execute .desktop files from program:/
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: feder...@kircheis.it
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When double-clicking on a .desktop file from the "program:/, view/protocol I
would like to execute the registered program instead of opening the desktop
file with kate.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. (optional) Verify that the setting "When opening an executable file:" is set
to "Always ask" or "Run script"
1. Got to programs:/Internet/
2. double-click on firefox (or another browser)
OBSERVED RESULT
firefox.desktop is opened in the configured text editor (Kate in my case)
EXPECTED RESULT
When opening the "programs:/" view, I expect to be able to execute programs
just like it happen when clicking on a icon in the menu.
I expect this behavior not to depend on the setting "When opening an executable
file", as .desktop files are not necessarily executable, but the current
behavior makes the "programs:/" view unusable.
