Bug Description

When dragging any file or folder to an executable, the executable's icon changes to an opened folder, like when dragging a file to a folder. Dropping the file will run the executable with the file's name as command line argument.
I don't know if this is the intended behaviour, but we should use a different icon, to clearly show what will happen, when dropping the file on the executable. Maybe we could change the cog to a play symbol (right facing triangle) on the executable's icon.

I agree, this looks out of place. Let's ask for designer input.
