--- Comment #3 from Peter Roots <peterro...@gmail.com> --- having been stumped by this I ignored it until today - Under Dolphin preferences, on the general section there is a confirmations tab. Here, under 'ask for confirmation in all KDE applications when:' selecting 'executing scripts or desktop files' restores the default functionality of asking 'what do you want to do with this executable?' when you click a desktop icon in Dolphin. I presume I have inadvertently selected open and somehow ticked the don't ask again box. So, not a bug but a config setting that I could not find - I actually found it by accident while trying to some something else entirely. :-) Issue resolved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
