I have several .desktop entries that launch the terminal as follows:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=<the name>
Type=Application
Exec=gnome-terminal <commands>

Problem: when I click on them from the desktop view, they are executed as expected. BUT when I'm in nautilus in the Desktop folder, they are only opened as editor file.

Question: how can I force nautilus to execute them, just like on the desktop view?

This functionality was removed.

See references:

Possible solution is to use Caja or Nemo instead.

Or more radical way - remove GNOME sHell and install MATE or Cinnamon instead.
