Hello.
There is two modes of execution when PCManFM receives a double click
on some executable script. First mode is "full" mode - user gets a dialog
window where user can choose to start it, start in terminal, or open with
preferred application (usually an editor). Second mode is "simple" mode,
it will just start it in terminal assuming some scripts may require a
terminal to work correctly. Though there are two issues with that:
a) when script is terminated, terminal is closed so user anyway cannot
see any output, be it success or failure;
b) some user designed scripts may run some graphical application without
any output but also without detaching from terminal and therefore keeping
stdout/stderr busy which annoys user with a non-functional but required
terminal window.
The request from user (https://sourceforge.net/p/pcmanfm/bugs/838/)
was to never open terminal for scripts in "simple" mode. That will solve
the second issue but another one is raised: if script requires a terminal
then it will just silently fail.
I want to hear your opinions on this. In any case some workaround can
be found and documented on Wiki for the case which isn't handled by the
"simple" execution mode, be it scripts that require terminal or opposite
one.
With best regards,
Andriy.
