We should pay attention to this indeed. This is a radical change for many users acquainted to execute shell scripts or having them written by friends to fix things. Believe me, this happens *all the time*.
Changing this behavior without any notice is irresponsible, a very conservative step that disempower users. At the very least, on the first execution of a shell script this way, a dialog should pop-up asking about the user's intention: - do not execute - execute this shell script once and ask again next time - execute any shell script (and/or open preferences) Ideally there could be a per-script configuration that can be tuned this way on first execution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1111397 Title: Executable files do not launch in 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1111397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
