--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
"Defaults matter" is exactly why we changed this. Previously the default
setting here was a barrier for basic desktop usage for 100% of people switching
to Plasma from any other OS — which is to say, basically everyone. We got
*endless* complaints about it over multiple decades. Those complaints tarnished
KDE's image, demoralized contributors, and wasted time arguing over the topic;
time that could have better spent doing something productive.

The project to make this change was planned in public
(https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/72), implemented in
public (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1671 +
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-integration/-/merge_requests/102),
communicated in public
(https://pointieststick.com/2023/08/18/this-week-in-kde-double-click-by-default
+ https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/). There was nothing secretive
about this.

As a policy we don't offer settings in our first-run wizard to avoid
overwhelming new users with choices they don't have the experience to be able
to make ye.

If single-click has a bug in Dolphin, that should be reported and fixed.
