Bug ID: 427520
Summary: Single click should select, not open
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: php4...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open a folder in Dolphin
2. click on a folder or file icon
OBSERVED RESULT
IF it's a folder, opens it in Dolphin
If it's a file, opens it with the defaut application
EXPECTED RESULT
This is stupid. In EVERY other file manager, clicking on an item selects it. To
open it, you double-click. That has been an established convention for very
long, and a sensible one.
Now, in order to select a single item you need to draw a rectangle around it as
if you were to select several ones.
This is obviously by design, but it's a wrong design decision and needs to be
reverted.
Now I guess there's a setting where I can change the behavior, then that's
wonderful, but the default behavior should still be a sensible, intuitive one,
that is, the conventional one.
