I just had this problem. Coming from 12.04 to 14.04 my executable that was launching WebStorm just started opening in GEdit. It felt like a bug, not a Feature. This is why I went back to Windows. Someone decided to make an arbitrary decision and now I have to find why it happened. These developers really don't care about the end-user. Thank god I didn't try to launch the ATI graphics installer in Nautilus. Sorry for the unhelpful comment, but someone made an unhelpful change that wasn't needed, without thought of the consequences, like happens so many times around here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397 Title: Executable files do not launch Status in Default settings for the Baltix GNU/Linux OS and desktop: Triaged Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If I make a text file executable - I can launch it in 12.10, or 12.04 .

It is not an unuseful comment, is UX feedback, which should be valued the most. When I initially reacted to this bug, I was reporting my experience helping users update and observing their struggle with layers of fixes on their desktop, often scripts made by friends to help execute tasks. A LEAN UX would help here, plus much less arrogance in imposing technical decisions that are not justified by a user centered analysis of the solution proposed. I guess with age comes more wisdom.

We should pay attention to this indeed. This is a radical change for many users acquainted to execute shell scripts or having them written by friends to fix things. Believe me, this happens *all the time*. Changing this behavior without any notice is irresponsible, a very conservative step that disempower users. At the very least, on the first execution of a shell script this way, a dialog should pop-up asking about the user's intention: - do not execute - execute this shell script once and ask again next time - execute any shell script (and/or open preferences) Ideally there could be a per-script configuration that can be tuned this way on first execution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397 Title: Executable files do not launch in 13.04 Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If I make a text file executable - I can launch it in 12.10, or 12.04 .

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1111397] Re: Executable files do not launch in 13.04
Hi, For me this is a bug, the fix should be applied to the original package, so 13.04 and future ubuntu installations will not suffer from this. There is no sense with behavior 'View executable text files' selected by default for a regular user. Shellscripts are commonly used to launch other executables, so a regular user will expect that double clicking on a given application executable (being script or ELF) will launch an application instead of gedit showing 'strange programming mambojambo'. I will give you an example: here in Portugal, we pay our taxes using an official application that is downloaded from a goverment site. The application is developed in java and it worked flawlessly with ubuntu. The application is packaged inside a special script file that will auto-extract the application content to a selected installation dir (by the way the application launcher is also a shellscript). So a regular user when double clicking this script, a gigant script will be opened in gedit! This really doesn't make any sense from a regular user prespective. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397 Title: Executable files do not launch in 13.04 Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If I make a text file executable - I can launch it in 12.10, or 12.04 .
