[systemsettings] [Bug 454415] System Settings Icon View appears to not honour single- vs double-click setting
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #8 from Nate Graham --- It is a feature, and there's no inconsistency: System Settings icons aren't files or folders, so they always activate on single-click, just like toolbar icons and hyperlinks, which are also not files or folders. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #7 from Wedge009 --- Toolbar buttons and hyperlinks aren't quite the same as Control Panel icons. At any rate, what's done is done, at least I know the introduction of the inconsistency was intentional and not a bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #6 from Nate Graham --- When you use the double-click setting on Windows, does it require that you double-click on toolbar buttons and URLs to activate them? If not, then it isn't really (nonsensically) 100% consistent. Better late then never, hopefully. :) We generally try to do better than Windows, not copy it and drag in all of its silly behaviors. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #5 from Wedge009 --- I understand that the text was changed. It's just that the unfortunate convention in the OS that has desktop monopoly has the convention of being consistent across everything, not just files and directories. Hence why I said it's a shame it wasn't this way from the start. Otherwise I would have learned this when jumping from Windows to KDE in the first place. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham --- The Add Widgets sidebar also now adds widgets only on single-click, for the same reason. :) Also worth mentioning that we renamed the setting in System Settings to make it clear that it only applies to files and folders--not all icon views/grids. So from that perspective, it is now quite consistent and comprehensible. You just gotta change your mental conception of what the setting does! :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #3 from Wedge009 --- Okay, thanks for confirming that it was intentional. A bit unfortunate, though, for someone like me coming from a Windows background where single- vs double-click is consistent throughout. Something to get used to I suppose. A shame it wasn't that way from the start - I was used to double-click for the 'add widgets' functionality so having double-click add two widgets was annoying. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL Status|REPORTED|RESOLVED CC||n...@kde.org --- Comment #2 from Nate Graham --- This change was intentional, because the single-click/double-click setting only makes sense when applied to file views, because additional actions can be performed on selected files or folders. This isn't the case for buttons, which always do one and only one thing: execute an action. Therefore it does not make sense for them to have a separate selection state, because unlike files and folders, there isn't anything else you could do with them when they were selected. System Settings' icon grid is basically a two-dimensional toolbar; each icon has no additional actions you could take when they are selected. You wouldn't want to have to double-click on every toolbar button or menu item in every app, would you? Same logic here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454415 --- Comment #1 from Wedge009 --- I don't know if something has changed in recent Plasma versions but I notice the same has happened with adding widgets to the Panel - used to require a double-click, now it happens with a single-click (double-click adds the selected widget twice). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
