Bug ID: 409426
Summary: Make ability to run scripts more obvious
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.12.3
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Did a new install of Kubuntu 19.04 to use as a mobile workstation. I have shell
scripts in Dropbox that I need for my work. When I tried to execute the scripts
from my new laptop they opened in kate instead of doing what I needed them to
do. They've been working for quite a while on my main workstation running
Kubuntu 18.04 LTS
I finally found that I needed to click the checkbox under Control--> Configure
Dolphin --> General --> Confirmations --> under "Ask for permission..." section
--> "Executing scripts or desktop files" This is most likely never discoverable
to the average user.
After I checked the correct checkbox a dialog came up asking me what I wanted
to do. This dialog should appear whether or not the checkbox is checked.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install new OS
2. Click on an existing shell script
3. Opens in kate instead of running
