            Bug ID: 456356
           Summary: Cannot 'right-click' and run executable file;
                    'Execute' option isn't listed in menu.
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.04.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: lemuelsimon32 at protonmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Double-clicking to launch AppImages, .exe's or .sh's work normally. However,
right-clicking then running isn't possible as there is no 'Execute' option
listed in the menu. Same with .desktop files; they work if you double-click,
but you cannot right-click and execute.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find executable file in Dolphin (already marked as executable in 'File
Properties'.)
2. Right-click on executable file to show the 'right-click menu'.
3. Attempt to locate a 'Run/Execute/Launch' option in the menu.

OBSERVED RESULT
An 'execute' option is not listed in the right-click menu of the selected
executable file.

EXPECTED RESULT
An 'execute' option should be listed for the user to right-click and execute
the file.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was advised to open this bug report, as I posted the issue in the wrong
thread here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429603
Seems like the option did exist at some point as indicated here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357469
I can't tell when the regression occurred though.
