idk about you, but I only run executables from dolphin once every full moon, or so. And even if it was frequently, it doesn't come close to the number of folders I open that only need a single click.
Right. I use a proper launcher for anything I execute constantly - like Gnome shell or KRunner on KDE. Scripts I usually run in the terminal to see their output. So it's really rare for me to run anything by clicking on it using Dolphin.
I appreciate the joke, but well, yes. The difference being that it's only for executables and you need to do click-move-click rather than the usual double-click, so it's even harder to accidentally trigger.
I mean, yeah, muscle spasm disorder or my dumb ass absent-mindedly opening files in my download folder or Jester from HR, who doesn't know that a job application shouldn't have the executable icon. For all of us, it improves accessibility, because we don't need to be as cautious anymore.
Maybe the KDE devs were expecting you to do file management using the keyboard only. Or maybe they thought that linux users aren’t technical enough that they would ever consider organizing their files. Just dumb it all on the desktop and call it a day, amarite?
