File associations 14.04

[Amichai Rotman]

Do these scripts run in a terminal?

The .desktop file you posted as an exaple reades "Terminal=false"....

Also, make sure the UID is the same for the actual scripts (in their actual
locations - no the ~/bin symlink). Your UID might have changed between
upgrades...

Amichai.
