Example of a gif file where the context menu shows "Run as executable" even
though when clicking it, it will just open up in an image editor as usual
SUMMARY
Executable flag on images will make the right click context menu show "Run as
executable" even though clicking it will just open up the image as usual. Since
a single normal left click doesn't bring up the usual dialog asking me what I
want to do but straight up opens it, it seems like Dolphin has some
understanding that this can't be run as an executable after all.
This means that the context menu seems to be wrong about what is going to
happen, which for a security relevant action seems suboptimal.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set executable flag to a .gif file for example which cannot be run as an
executable
2. Right-click gif file
3. Close the context menu again without interacting with it
4. Left-click gif file
OBSERVED RESULT
Right-click claims the default action is "Run as executable". However,
left-click doesn't bring up the dialog asking if I want to run it, but just
opens the file regularly, showing the default action isn't what the right-click
menu says it is.
EXPECTED RESULT
Right-click menu default action is always correct, since this is a security
sensitive operation and therefore the user should know what they're triggering.
