The issue persists in a slightly different form with .desktop files: 1. Create a .desktop file on the desktop. 2. Right click on it and give it permission to launch. 3. Double-click on it and confirm that it launches. 4. Mv it to a new name in a terminal window. 5. Observe how it remains displayed as an app icon rather than switching to a text file. 6. Further observe that when you right-click on it, there is a "Don't Allow Launching" menu command available. 6. Double-click on it and observe that instead of launching, it opens in gedit.
Either (a) double-clicking on the renamed .desktop file should cause the app to launch, or (b) the icon should change to a text-file icon and the menu item should change to "Allow Launching" when the file is renamed. The current behavior, however, is an incorrect combination of those two possible correct behaviors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812885 Title: Rename shell script on desktop, nautilus keeps trying to execute it under its old name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1812885/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
