Bug description

when trying to change the executable bit on multiple files (multiple scripts in fact)
I saw that it doesn't work

I had to do it file by file.

but when filling this bugfix, I realize that you have to click a second time, after the checkbox is set, to make it work.

Steps to reproduce

• create a text file with xed
• fill it with random text
• copy it several times
• open a terminal and CD to the directory
• on nemo, select all of them
• right click
• select "permission"
• set "autorise to run this file as a program" (got it in french "autoriser l'execution du fichier comme un programme") ONLY ONE TIME
• ls -l again on the terminal
• none of the files are "chmod +x"

if you set TWO times (2 clicks), it works

Expected behavior

setting "autorise to run this file as a program" with only one click, should make them executable.

Additional information

Simpler to create files using the terminal or by using nemo, not both.
Presumably you are creating the file(s) in a user directory, so that you are the owner of the file, so it probably makes sense to set the execute authority for the owner permission.

yes, the test to do is to create your files in your user directory.

i don't see your point.
it's a test to reproduce the problem, and see it through a ls in a terminal
i discovered it by doing something else.

the expected behavior is to have executable permission on those files.
it simply doesn't work as expected.

you have to click two times on "autoriser l'execution du fichier comme un programme" when multiple files are selected
and i'm not very sure it's the problem, cause when i select several distinct files (not all of them), even multiple clicks doesn't work..
(i have disabled all the plugins & nemo_actions in case they interact with this)
