run .sh file in thunar?

I have problem with .sh files in thunar , when i click on it , it opens as text-editor.
in nemo fm, when i click on it , it pop up message with 3 options: run in terminal , display , run, and i choice run, and the program or game run.
How i can do that in thunar?

Re: run .sh file in thunar?

There's a hidden setting to enable that:

xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default --create --type bool --set true

This doesn't pop a message dialog, though; only enables executing shell scripts (and probably any other script with a shebang line) with a double-click.

Thanks , it's worked
