Open .bin files.

For some reason when I double click on a .bin file (it is an installer) KDE asks me what program I want to use to open it instead of just running it. If I right-click on the icon and look at the properties, the downloaded file has all read/write permissions and the executable box is checked.

Well i think to must use shell to run the installer.
open shell go to the directory it is located in and type in the file name i think to must be root to run the installer.

That's how I've been running the installer, but I'm under the impression that KDE should recognize that as a .bin file, it is executable and can be run in the same way.

.bin install

Go to the directory that contains the installer.
Change the permissions for the installation file to make it executable:
$ chmod +x [installation_file_name].
3.
Start the installer: $ ./[installation_file_name] –c.
The installer displays information about the application.
4.
Enter y and press <ENTER>.
The installer displays system check results. This indicates whether your system
meets each of the installation requirements.
5.
Review the results and do one of the following:

Enter y and press <ENTER> to continue.
