'Run' action by default for executable files

[Damien Cassou]

Binary package hint: gnome-do

I often want to run script files from gnome-do. The problem is that the default action is always 'Open' whereas I want 'Run' to be the default. Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a text file and give it the Execution permission
2) Save it in a place where gnome-do is going to find it
3) Summon Do and type the name of the file
4) Action shown is 'Open', but 'Run' would be better

I guess Do could propose Run by default when the file is executable.

You're using the Files and Folders plugin. If you use the Locate Files plugin instead, it has the default you want.

It looks like the 'Locate Files' plugin requires to type 'Locate files' before being able to search anything. This does not make things simpler at all.
