Associating Shell Scripts In Nautilus/gnome in FC2

[ddefig 0]

The usual newbie disclaimer.....

 

Using Nautilus under Gnome I somehow ended up permanently associating shell scripts (MIME type application/x-shellscript) with gedit. No big deal - I deleted the association - but now I cannot get the script to execute. A double-click in nautilus brings up the "no action associated" dialog. How do I get to the point where they execute from nautilus and Gnome desktop again?

 

Regards -

are there any other scripts you can check the configuration/associations

of to see how to set yours up?

Good Suggestion, but no - this is the only box I have up. The change is global, so any shell script I look at has the same issue, including the link on the Gnome desktop that I put there for Firefox.

I had the same problem with Fedora 2, I assigned the x-sh and x-shellscript to an editor by mistake. First exit Nautilus, cd ~/.gnome/mime-info made a backup of user.keys and user.mime and deleted all the mime references (x-sh, x-shellscript) from both files. For example I deleted the following from user.keys:

 

application/x-sh

default_application_id=

category=Software Development/Source Code

default_component_iid=

description=

icon_filename=/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-x-shellscript.png

use_category_default=no

 

application/x-shellscript

default_application_id=bsh

category=Software Development/Source Code

default_component_iid=

description=

icon_filename=/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-x-shellscript.png

use_category_default=no

default_action_type=application

short_list_application_user_removals=

short_list_application_user_additions=bsh

 

I then deleted the following from user.mime:

application/x-sh

ext: sh

 

text/x-sh

deleted: moilegrandvizir

 

application/x-shellscript

ext:

 

 

I now have the default behavior for the File->Script

from Nautilus.
