Follow-up Comment #4, bug #44880 (project octave):
> [...] For example the org.gnome.gedit.desktop on my system defines actions
to open a new window or create a new text document in addition to the
default.
It only does that from the gnome shell. It doesn't have two options when you
are opening a file. In that case, it uses the Desktop Entry section (which
only has one section), instead of the Desktop Action sections. If we ever get
D-bus working in Octave (see bug #42603), the same options would be nice, to
create new document in existing Octave instance, or open new document in new
instance.
> I think we can support both actions to "run this .m file as a program" and
"open this .m file in the editor", and both make sense depending on your use
case, so why not do both?
I think the 'run this .m file as a program' is for the file manager to handle.
On my system, nautilus will ask if it should run the program if it has
executable permissions or open it as a file.
Also, we have at least 3 bugs about not opening the file for edition on Linux.
In windows, where that happens, we have no bugs from users wanting to run the
program.
