What file manager are you using?
Could you perhaps upload an example binary that gets
detected wrong?
I'm on Debian 10, with Nautilus (v3.30.5) as file explorer.
You can download the helloworld program with this link:

As I suspected, it's because it's a PIE executable, so this
issue is
not specific to D.
Going down the rabbit hole:

Ahh ok, thanks !
The bug is old... how can I develop D applications without
having to suffer this bug ?
Currently you can't, AFAICT.
Many Linux distros these days make PIE the default for Clang/GCC,
because PIE allows for more ASLR, a common modern security
hardening
measure.
Because D uses the C compiler to link your application, this
default
will be passed down to the linker. Because of the order in which D
passes args down to the linker, there doesn't seem to be a way to
override this (unless you link manually, e.g. by appending
`-no-pie` to
the clang/gcc command you get with `dmd -v <sources>`).
It might make sense to change dmd's behaviour so it explicitly
passes
`-no-pie` to the C compiler when it's not being called with
`-fPIC`.
In any case, the bug is still not D's fault and will also occur
with
e.g. C programs compiled without `-no-pie` (and probably most
executables in /usr/bin!).
