But you are actively clicking on a .vbs file, an "executable". The default action would be execute it (with wine). However, if it does not have the execute flag enabled, it would be a bug to try to execute it. Yes, I actively clicked on the VBS file in Ark, of course by mistake.
Execution bit is not necessary here. I created a test.vbs file on my KDE Plasma desktop and clicked on it. No warning was displayed, Wine executed the file. I also see this as a bug. It is the default Windows action. Wine simply acts as Windows would. But it is Linux who calls wine. Linux should not call wine to "open" a known executable file unless it has the executable bit. Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.
If it is a Windows executable it will call Wine regardless when you click it. That's how it works. It's just like if your in Windows. No, because it is Linux who decides to call Wine, supposedly using Linux criteria. Windows criteria doesn't count yet, Wine is not yet running.
IMHO, this is a security risk.
Yes. It is a security risk. That's why Windows is so easy to infect. You are automatically running in administrator mode with Windows by default. That's why I always set up a"user" and run Windows in user mode. -- "The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes-and ships-and sealing-wax- Of cabbages-and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot- And whether pigs have wings."
