I have been using an autostart display.desktop file as explained in Sec. 3 here
to auto run a program on startup, and it works fine using for my python script.
When I launch it manually however, a dialog box opens asking if I want to execute it or cancel.
This dialog doesn't appear with autostart, is that an issue?
What am I doing wrong?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

[Desktop Entry] Name=binDisplay Exec=/usr/bin/python3 /home/user/pydisplay/Python/binDisplay.pyBut using an executable file instead of the python script as below, does nothing on startup.
[Desktop Entry] Name=binDisplay Exec=/home/user/python/exec_package/dist/binDisplayThe binDisplay file launches from terminal and or by double-clicking, so it is valid.
