--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This is true, and technically it's a "file view" that you would expect to
respect that setting. So I can see where you're coming from.

On the other hand, the entire reason for double-click to exist in the first
place is to make it easier to select items by clicking them once so you can
then perform actions on them. But these folders have no actions which can be
performed on them when selected, aside from the ones that appear on hover, so
it wouldn't actually make sense to respect the setting. Therefore, we have to
weigh the following:

- On one hand, it's inconsistent with other file views that to respect the
setting.
- On the other hand, because this file view has no "selected" state, respecting
the setting would have no benefit outside of increasing consistency and would
introduce the drawbacks of slower interactions and inconsistency with other
grid views within the app.

So in this case we made the judgment that the latter concern carried more
weight.

Hope that helps to explain the situation.
