How can I set all for Execution without prompt?

Answer 1

Open PCManFM, Go to Edit/Preferences/General, Check box for "Don't ask options on launch executable file"

From https://askubuntu.com/questions/333256/how-to-skip-execute-file-dialog-in-lubuntu-pcmanfm

Answer 2

The string #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open should not be in a .desktop file.

These files are simple INI files defining how to open an application, not scripts to be executed.

Delete this erroneous line and try again.

Answer 3

To remove the prompt when launching an executable file, do the following: Open File Manager Select Edit - Preferences - General Tick the option "Don't ask options on launch executable file"

Answer 4

Another workaround is to put the desktop entry in its default directory and create a link to it, like the OS does when you drag and drop a entry from the menu to desktop.

Answer 5

Q: How can I set all for Execution without prompt?

A: Answered with the PcmanFM configuration.

In Linux, a .desktop file is not meant to be directly opened like a regular text file. Instead, it is a file format used for defining application launchers and menu entries. These files contain information about an application, such as its name, icon, command to execute, and other metadata.

When you double-click a .desktop file in a file manager or launch it from the command line, the associated desktop environment or window manager interprets the file and performs the appropriate action. This typically involves launching the application specified in the Exec field of the .desktop file.

Now, there is a difference between doing it from here (PCmanfm)

Or from here (an 'application launch bar' or the 'applications menu')

In the second case, it will execute it without asking, because (I guess) it is the intended location to 'run it from'.
