Yes. And made sure I was the owner as another poster suggested.

However, I have done a workaround and now it's working as expected.
(Skipped tring to make a "launcher".

This is Linux Mint 22 Wilma.  If one right-clicks on the screen the option
to create a 'launcher' comes up in the menu of available actions.  That's
what i had problems with.
Just putting the script in the directory of interest does fine...it shows up
and can be clicked upon which then runs it.

In a perfect world I'd keep trying to get the launcher to work, but I have
other things to do.
