I'm running TDE 14.0.2 on CentOs 6. My compliments to the trinity team for the excellent job! I've got back all the reach features of KDE 3, instead of a bloated and much less usable Plasma thing.
However I've stumbled into an annoying issue.
When clicking on the icon of an executable shell script (extension .sh), it's opened for editing in Kate, and not launched. The same, under KDE4 is properly executed.
Is it a matter of some improper setting that I can fix, or a bug?
Additional information. Looking to the file properties, I see that it's using the settings for the group "text".
In /opt/trinity/share/mimelink I find both
/text/x-shellscript.desktop
which has a line: X-TDE-IsAlso=application/x-executable-script and a line [Property::X-TDE-text]
and
/application/x-shellscript.desktop
which has the two identical line, which make little sense IMHO because if I understand properly they tell that it's also itself, and that it should be treated as text.
Thanks for any help.

For anyone interested, I've solved the problem!
I have simply removed x-shellscript.desktop from the mimelnk/text directory, leaving only the one in the mimelnk/applications and now it works as expected. That is, if the script is marked as executable, clicking on it it is executed. If not it is opened in an editor.

Thanks Giuliano, this is something we probably need to double check. I guess most users would expect (as default behavior) scripts to execute if they double click on it, although for security issues I prefer not to have such functionality on mine system (yet I never tested it since I usually do most of the work from a console and mc).

Actually it is not necessary to remove the file /text/x-shellscript.desktop. It is sufficient to remove the entry for shell scripts in the "text" category in Konqueror's File Associations settings.
Slavek, currently tdelibs ships with two files for x-shellscript.desktop: /opt/trinity/share/mimelnk/application/x-shellscript.desktop /opt/trinity/share/mimelnk/text/x-shellscript.desktop I think it would be better to associate shell scripts with one only. IMO most of the users would expect shell scripts to be executed when clicking on it from Konqueror. What do you think?
Any opinion from the other users?
Cheers Michele

There is a need to act with caution. As I found when examining the problem KNotify => problem with playing ogg (see bug 2392), there is an important relationship between mime types obtained by calling libmagic and mime types defined in TDE. Missing definition in TDE may cause a problem with the functionality. It is also necessary to keep in mind that different versions libmagic may return different types - as is application/ogg × audio/ogg.
The ideal solution would be to leave the /opt/trinity/share/mimelnk in favor of the system /usr/share/mime. But it will require some effort.

If this can help to sort the issue, the x-shellscript.desktop entry in the mimelnk/text folder didn't exist in KDE 3, and doesn't exist in KDE 4 either.
This can mean either that in TDE it's been added there for some good reasons which should be possible to trace back, or that it has been inadvertently added, and therefore it could be safely removed.
