Re: [PLUG] launch scripts from KFM?

["W. Chris Shank" <chris.shank@acetechgroup.com>]

I thought some distro's already did this? Some of non-free ones like
Xandros, Lycoris, LindowsOS, etc maybe? Please let me know what you find -
because I think this is an imporant usability feature. I understand why
they want to prevent arbitrary scripts from launching - but the user
should be able to launch it by clicking. I have some windows .cmd scripts
- they launch the command window to show what is happening in the script.
Same thing on OS X. It would be great if KDE worked similarily.
