Component: Thunar Prefferences OS: Linux Summary: Enabling the feature to execute shell scripts with double click requires the user to run a long obscure command found on the internet. Extremely beginner unfriendly. Description: Overview: There is no graphical way atm to switch the default behaviour (for executable text files) from opening the file in the text editor, to executing them. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Open Thunar, and go to Edit>Preferences 2) There is no option to switch default behaviour for executable text files Actual Results: Nothing changed Expected Results: A drop down menu or button toggle that would enable the user to switch between: 1) double click opens executable text file (shell script) in text editor 2) double click executes the executable text file 3) Ask every time
