<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">@David, I'd like to know your idea of this workaround, because I think its usefulness will influence or be influenced by how bug 275405 will be finally resolved.
The current situation of clicking an executable shell script in dolphin/konqueror:
1. It is always executed, instead of being opened by the preferred application according to its mimetype. (bug 275405)
2. It is executed in a silent way, without invoking konsole to provide a running environment (bug 225563). That means at least two issues:
a). There is no feedback and no easy way for user to know whether that script has been started. He/She need use ps or ksysguard to verify it.
b). interactive script just doesn't work.
This patch *doesn't* really solve any of the above two problems. It just provides the possibility for users to run an executable script in konsole when using dolphin/konqueror.
It adds two .desktop files:
applications/kde4/run-in-konsole.desktop, which can be used in the "Open with" submenu
ServiceMenus/konsolerun.deksotp, which can be used in the "Actions" submenu
I'm not sure which solution is better, so I just provide both :)
Known issue:
using application/x-shellscript means this workaround only applies to shell scripts, so it does not provide help for perl/python scripts. But using applicaiton/x-executable means it will also apply to binary executables. So :
* Does it make sense to provide that workaround for binary executable? It is of course valid, but might be seen as overkill and strange in practice.
* Is there something called application/x-executablescript, that falls between the range of x-executable and x-shellscripts ?
* Should application/x-desktop be also added into "MimeType"?
As you see, this patch in the current form is still a rough idea.
