Can't Launch executables from Dolphin

[LinuxRocks]

With Konqueror, I was able to change the permissions on the file to executable (As I can with Dolphin) and double click on the file to run it. With Dolphin, I change the permissions and double click on it and it brings up a list of all my apps, asking me what I want to open it with.

How do I change this behavior?

Thanks!!!

What file are you changing the permissions on to mark it executable?

What file are you changing the permissions on to mark it executable?

As an example... In Konqueror, I can download a .bin file (in this case prey-demo-installer-10232008.bin) and change the permissions by right clicking the file as I can in Dolphin. However, in Konqueror, once I make it executable, I can double click the file and it will run as will other scripts I have. With Dolphin, if I repeat the steps and then double click to run the file, it just opens a dialogue asking me what application I want to open the file with.

You may still need to do the extra step of associating the .bin extension with a program to open it. Perhaps in the past that was done already, but it seems not so now.
