Other text-only files like .theme files are also affected by this. Plus:
the button text 'Display' isn't very clear on what it actually does. Can
you only open the file in read-only mode? Or will you be able to edit
it? But what application will be launched?

Sebastien,
You are right! , the description is misleading.
I simply assumed the reporter was commenting about .txt files from windows
partitions or external ntfs/vfat volumes which are mounted with exec priv by
default !
As i commented earlier , changing the default is not the right way to do
mac_v, only files with mime type of text/plain are handled.

How is Nautilus not prompting when video and picture formats have exec
priv? Aren't those having exclusions?
Seb just answered this , nautilus knows the file formats, it needs to display
icons .
So it is aware that these can never be executables.
Either, we make similar exception when
Hi all
I don't believe that this is an issue with mounting partitions. Even
if screenshot was made from LiveCD session, this behavior is same also
after installation(no dual boot, Jaunty only). I personally have a few
simple text files stored on external HDD with NTFS and after
installation of
my question is
what can possibly go wrong if double-clicking on *.txt file (and *.txt
file only, from any location - forget mounting) will simply display it
in gedit

I am convinced by Sebastian -- as much as showing this dialog on
double-click concerns be for usability and safety reasons, this
proposed solution of changing the Nautilus preference is a hasty
change that breaks valid use cases.

the bug description there is misleading, the dialog is only displayed
when the text file is set +x and the reason is that the user might be
wanting to see or run a script file when running on it, that will not
happen on ubuntu often but is rather an issue on vfat drives due to the
limitation of
I also would like to see the default behavior changed to display the
text files.
As most scripts which are set as executable are bash or sh scripts which make
their output to a terminal it is useless to run them directly. Also the option
Run in a terminal is useless because the terminal is

I think this is an issue with how we mount NTFS partitions rather then
nautilus.
Anyway I've included a patch that changes the default behavior to
display instead of ask.
