Well I am to lazy to open the SHell and change its chmod.
Or even rightclick and change those Settings is to hard
So I made this little Script. It allows you to directly change the chmod of the given File.
Note: This doesnt work on Remote Folders or Windows Partitions!
Just Rightclick of the given File and `Make Executable !
`Installation is simple.
Just run the Program without any arguments.
The script prompts for the Installation.
Type: `y` if you hadn`t change your Home-Directory.

It's a good ideea if you don't want to deactivate that check. Here's a small script which I use and makes the wine launcher skip the executable bit check: #!/bin/bash if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then printf "\n * You must run this script as root.\n\n"; exit 0; fi echo '[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Wine Windows Program Loader Exec=wine start /unix %f MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msi;application/x-win-lnk;application/x-ms-shortcut Icon=wine NoDisplay=true Icon=wine StartupNotify=true' > /tmp/wine.desktop sudo cp --remove-destination /tmp/wine.desktop /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop sudo rm -f /tmp/wine.desktop Just put this in a file and run it as root. It should fix it. No need to call a script for each .exe you want to run.
Nice idea. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. However, using a Nautilus-Action that I've had for a while that does this very thing I tweaked your script around a little to make it work. It works for multiple files now: !/bin/bash # Change the Install_Path. INSTALL_PATH="/home/$USER/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts" # Set IFS so that it won't consider spaces as entry separators. Without this, spaces in file/folder names can make the loop go wacky. IFS=$'\n' # See if the Nautilus environment variable is empty if [ -z $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS ]; then # If it's blank, set it equal to $1 NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS=$1 fi # Loop through the list (from either Nautilus or the command line) for ARCHIVE_FULLPATH in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS; do NEWDIRNAME=${ARCHIVE_FULLPATH%.*} FILENAME=${ARCHIVE_FULLPATH##*/} NAME=${ARCHIVE_FULLPATH##*/.*} if [ "$ARCHIVE_FULLPATH" ];then gnome-terminal -x sudo chmod +x "$ARCHIVE_FULLPATH" zenity --info --text="File "$ARCHIVE_FULLPATH" is now executable! :)" else # Install Script echo "Installing Nautilus-Extension.." echo "Install Script in: $INSTALL_PATH - Is that right? [y/n]" read input if [ "$input" == "y" ];then mv "$0" "$INSTALL_PATH" echo "Installation Successfully! :)" else echo "" echo "Enter the /home/<name> NAME of your Homedir." echo "Example: your home is /home/jjd - so type: jjd:" read homedirname sleep 1 echo "Installing Nautilus-Extension to /home/$homedirname/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts" mv "$0" "/home/$homedirname/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts" echo "Done! :)" fi fi done
