            Bug ID: 13947
           Summary: Thunar "executes" non-executable-files
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.11
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Low
         Component: Desktop

  Target Milestone: 1.8.0

I had an issue for which I posted on the xfce forums, and the kind moderator
ToZ there helped me a lot. In the end though, he suggested posting here, as
this might very well be a Thunar issue. Relevant discussion is here:

https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=46397

In short:
"I am currently using Winamp 2.95 through Wine, and while it worked beautifully
for months, something suddenly changed. Double-clicking a m3u playlist file
does nothing anymore, but right-clicking it and selecting the default action
works just as expected. I have tried resetting the default "open with"
application, using a custom command, reinstalling Winamp and removing/setting
back its file associations, but to no avail. I'm running 64-bit Linux Lite 3.6,
Thunar 1.6.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 and xfce 4.12." The solution to my problem was
that the file was marked as executable, and changing it to non-executable made
it work.

Some command outputs that might be relevant:

francois at SilentPC:~/Desktop$ xdg-mime query filetype Rock.m3u
audio/x-mpegurl
francois at SilentPC:~/Desktop$ xdg-mime query default audio/x-mpegurl
wine-extension-miz.desktop
francois at SilentPC:~/Desktop$ xdg-mime query default $(xdg-mime query filetype
Rock.m3u)
wine-extension-miz.desktop

francois at SilentPC:~/Desktop$ cat $(locate wine-extension-miz.desktop)

/misc-single-click                   false
/misc-thumbnail-mode                 THUNAR_THUMBNAIL_MODE_NEVER

Also, running Thunar from the terminal and double-clicking the file resulted in
this:
/home/francois/Rock.m3u: 3: /home/francois/Rock.m3u:
Z:homefrancoisMusicMP3sRockACDCACDC: not found
/home/francois/Rock.m3u: 19: /home/francois/Rock.m3u:
Z:homefrancoisMusicMP3sRockACDCACDC: not found
/home/francois/Rock.m3u: 38: /home/francois/Rock.m3u: Syntax error: "("
unexpected

but as mentioned above, the issue was fixed without modifying the file
contents.

Thank you!
