SUMMARY
Feature Request - Please Add "Open With Default Application" to "Thumbnail
Click Action" in Conf > Views > Icons section
I am primarily a Windows user who has tried several similar programs, and feel
digiKam is "doing things right", However there is one major hold-up that really
slows me down or makes me create odd-workarounds, and that's the ability to
"open with default application" by default, instead, double clicking an icon
only allows it to be previewed or opened via the internal digiKam editor. For
me, I open files of many different formats and have my preferred editors /
viewers already, and appreciate the ability to right click and "open with", but
it's very cumbersome compared to just double clicking a thumnail (or in my
case, mapping a mouse button to a key, and then binding that key to the open
with default application action, which then unfortunately interferes with other
applications where I need access to that mouse button).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Settings
2. Select Configure digiKam
3. Select "Views"
4. Select the "Icons" tab from within the views panel.
5. Select "thumnail click action"
OBSERVED RESULT
The only available options are "show preview" and "start image editor".
EXPECTED (hoped for / wished for) RESULT
I would request (and would really appreciate!) another option to "Open with
default application".

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a request, not a bug, but it would greatly improve usability (and
adoptability) if the option was available.
Thank You for your time and for creating such a wonderful product!
