Title:
create shell script file on Desktop, chmod it so that it is
executable, icon remains text file instead of shell script and won't
launch on double-click
Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Using a text editor, create a file on your Desktop that you intend to
be a shell script. When you save it initially, it won't be executable
(unless your text editor is too smart for its own good), so it will be
displayed on the desktop as a text file.
Now do "chmod +x" on the file in a terminal window.
It's still displayed on the desktop as a text file, and you still
can't execute it.
Now mv it out of your desktop and into /tmp, and then mv it back onto
your desktop. Now the icon is displayed as a shell script and can be
double-clicked.
The icon for a file on the desktop should turn from text file to
executable script as soon as the file itself turns from text file to
executable script.
