#425 More flexible configuration of executables
Please add separate controls to differentiate between shellscript executables and .desktop executables in Edit -> Preferences -> General "Don't ask options on launch executable file" i.e. a tick box for each type.
Since PCManFM 1.3.0 the behaviour on clicking .desktop files has changed (for security reasons apparently) so that the same option pop-up appears when they are clicked. I want the option to appear for shellscripts but NOT for .desktop files which I have created and trust.
Thank you.

Yes the config options are definitely too poor. Whenever I want to simply open a text file, say YML or even custom XML, I get the "What do you want to do with it?" but when I uncheck "Don't ask options on launch executable file" it defaults to execute which does not make sense to me as a default. I guess the behaviour is based on the "executable" permission but people may work with file systems that don't allow UNIX permissions so that they default to 777.
TL;DR: Allow for setting the default double-click behaviour to execute or open.
