kde dolphin - the service menu entry 'Open Ghostty Here' does not work

[christopherreed]

The dolphin service menu entry 'Open Ghostty Here' does not work after I build and install ghostty to ~/.local prefix zig build install -p $HOME/.local -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

The menu entry 'Open Ghostty Here' is visible, but dolphin reports an error when it is used: 'You are not authorized to execute this file.'

The menu entry will work as expected after I mark the service menu .desktop file as executable chmod +x ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/com.mitchellh.ghostty.desktop

see 5180cc6 and https://develop.kde.org/docs/apps/dolphin/service-menus/#where-the-servicemenus-are-located

So dolphin desktop files need exec chmod bits?

I think it is only applicable to local installs and it is only for the service menu .desktop file.

From the linked kde doc "... the local file location is used, because it does not require admin privileges. However, you need to mark the desktop file as executable for it to be considered authorized, because the location is not a standard location that is authorized by default"

Not sure if this is something ghostty should do.. mostly mentioning it here to make it easier for others to search out a solution if they encounter this.
