This is the opposite bug to #60722. Since USB drives that must interface with Windows are formatted with FAT, they lose all permission data, including the executable permission. Hence, when a FAT drive is mounted, either all the files must be marked as executable, or none. If they are all marked as executable, Nautilus will ask the user whether to "Open" or "Execute" the file when double-clicked, which is irritating and confusing for new users.
I understand that this may not be an issue in KDE, but whatever change is made will affect both desktops. As I see it, it makes more sense to leave everything marked as non- executable and risk annoying advanced users (presumably, you can execute it using sh from the command line) rather than confusing new users. -- cannot execute programs/scripts from USB drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
