Bug Description
The executable scripts are always executed if clicked in Pantheon Files, even if the default application to be used is changed for them to a text editor under *Properties-Open with*.
I have noticed this behavior only for executable scripts (while the opposite happens for desktop files after February 2017 update: http://
This is also the cause why the system will not ask before running script from Pantheon Files (http://
This behavior could be dangerous (given the reason why desktop files are not automatically executed after February 2017 update).
Automatic execution of scripts on click or double click should not be the default action or at least it should be possible to change it.

Probably better to fix this by always opening scripts for editing and only executing from the right click menu. I don't think we need yet another dialog in the mix
