Permissions Issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. chmod 777 test_file 
2. try to launch from the menu
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Documents will not launch the associated application if they are assigned
the execute permission.

Thanks.

This is really an config option (whether you want to launch, edit or be asked 
what to
do with an executable file), not a bug. Nautilus fro example has this option. 
And
yes, it is in the plans to make it an option.

Fixed. Only in svn for now though. Will close item when new version with fix 
released.

The new behavior is like so: If the file is binary (an application, as 
determined by
gnome-vfs), clicking on it will run it. If the file is an executable text file 
(like
a shell script, python source, etc.) Left clicking on it will open it for 
editing,
middle clicking on it will run the file.
