when a script is not a script according to krun...

[ian reinhart geiser]

Greetings,
I have a question about scripts with KDE.  I have a few perl, python and
javascript scripts that all open with a text editor always.  Now if i have
a normal bash based shell script with a .sh ending it will open with a
text editor when chmod -x and will open as an application if chmod +x.

Now my question.  Can we make this consistent somehow?  I was unclear of
how we detect .sh files to run, although I think thats because I had no
clue where to start and grep was unhelpful at that point.

The idea in my mind is that all files that have been chmod +x should try
to be executed first, and if that fails if they are also of a mime type
text/plain opened with a text editor.  This way pyQt/pyKDE, rubyQt and
KJSEmbed  can be useful for doing applications in kde, without the ever
popular windows issue of executing any script you try to open.

IMHO the execute bit in the Unix properties will be our saviour.

Comments, Ideas, Hints on where to start with this?

Cheers
