            Bug ID: 15588
           Summary: run/execute/launch
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.8.6
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: scootergrisen at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.8.7

Seems like run/execute/launch is used to start a file in different programs.

In appfinder the button to start the application is called Launch.
Also there is the "Run Program..." .desktop file.
But in Thunar its called Execute in the File menu.

Should Thunar use run or launch instead of execute?

Here are some strings from Thunar:
Failed to execute application \"%s\"
Failed to execute file \"%s\"
_Execute
Execute the selected file
Execute the selected files
The program to execute, possibly with arguments.

I am translating the strings so it makes it a bit confusing when multiple words
like run/execute/launch is used to describe what seems to be the same thing.
