            Bug ID: 467663
           Summary: Execute .desktop files from program:/
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.12.3
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: federico at kircheis.it
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

When double-clicking on a .desktop file from the "program:/, view/protocol I
would like to execute the registered program instead of opening the desktop
file with kate.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. (optional) Verify that the setting "When opening an executable file:" is set
to "Always ask" or "Run script"
1. Got to programs:/Internet/
2. double-click on firefox (or another browser)

OBSERVED RESULT
firefox.desktop is opened in the configured text editor (Kate in my case)

EXPECTED RESULT
When opening the "programs:/" view, I expect to be able to execute programs
just like it happen when clicking on a icon in the menu.

I expect this behavior not to depend on the setting "When opening an executable
file", as .desktop files are not necessarily executable, but the current
behavior makes the "programs:/" view unusable.
