I just had this problem. Coming from 12.04 to 14.04 my executable that
was launching WebStorm just started opening in GEdit.
It felt like a bug, not a Feature.
This is why I went back to Windows. Someone decided to make an arbitrary
decision and now I have to find why it happened. These

experience helping users update and observing their struggle with layers
of fixes on their desktop, often scripts made by friends to help execute
tasks.

simple? most ubuntu users are afraid to open a Terminal.
however, thanks for the info, but this discussion
It's a completely incorrect behavior always to open executable text
files with Text Editor - lots of executable installers are very big
(200-500Mb) and opening very big files with Text Editor causes freeze of
operating system for several minutes on older computers, try for example

This was an intentional change done by upstream Nautilus developers.

Hi,
For me this is a bug, the fix should be applied to the original package,
so 13.04 and future ubuntu installations will not suffer from this.
There is no sense with behavior 'View executable text files' selected by
default for a regular user.
Shellscripts are commonly used to launch other
