When I have Dolphin's terminal panel showing and I click an executable file, Dolphin could run the executable in the terminal panel.
This should probably be implemented as a setting that is off by default.

I think it could be implemented with a service menu accessing the Konsole via DBus�

How about using Drag&Drop. You just drag the executable to the terminal window to run it there.

No setting needed.

Thanks for the input!
Drag-and-drop is good, but it's slow. Users have to drag the file to the terminal, focus the terminal, then press enter. This is a big deal if the user has a lot of programs to run, or if it's part of a quick compile/run cycle.

If the user has to go through a context menu to find this feature, then this feature isn't much help because drag-and-drop is about as fast. But, if the user can just click on the file to execute it in the Dolphin terminal, then that's much more streamlined than the alternative.

@The User, is it possible to set Dolphin to run a specific service when I click a file, without going through the context menu? If so, then this feature is half-implemented already.

great idea. there is few functionality in GNOME that KDE hasn�t, but amongst it is this dialog popping out if you click on an executable script.

Is there a separate idea for that?

If not, my proposal: Setting if the dialog should pop up at all, only for scripts, or for all executables. For non-scripts it has the options [Execute] [Execute in Terminal] [Cancel], for scripts additionally [Open with] (A Button with attached menu. On short click, it opens with the default Text editor set up to open this type of script, on long click it shows the list of apps registered to open it.) For mono-, windows- jvm-executables possible the same as for scripts. (as you can open them as archives, too)
