I've just found there already is a Nautilus option to turn off the "executable text file" message: Edit > Preferences > Behaviour > View executable text files when they are opened.
Turning this on does prevent scripts from being run from Nautilus, as the Nautilus right-click menu doesn't have a "run" option, but it would seem unlikely that a new user would want to do this. This would appear to be a duplicate of Nautilus bug #14335. -- NTFS and FAT partitions mounted with executable bits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
