[SOLVED] Konsole displays an error whenever I run a .sh file in it.

I'm a KDE plasma user and I'm having a bit of trouble.
I have .sh files but when I right click on them and select "Run In Konsole", it displays an error like this:

Warning: Could not find '/home/username/Desktop/filename.sh', starting '/usr/bin/bash' instead.  Please check your profile settings.

I have gone to settings, created a new profile (because I can't edit the Built-In one), set "Command" to

/bin/bash

but is still shows the same error.
How do I fix this? I'm a bit of a newbie.

stat /home/username/Desktop/filename.sh # I suspect it's not executable?
file /home/username/Desktop/filename.sh

This is the result of those commands: https://ibb.co/N6MY64N3

Please just past text as text in the future.

In any case - as seth suspected - your .sh file is not executable, and also lacks a shebang to define it as a shell script to run. To fix the first issue chmod +x your scripts that you intend to be executable, for the second problem add

#!/bin/bash

or so as the very first line of the shell script
