[Qgis-user] UI - Double clicking a layer to add it
Hi List, I've noted some inconsistency in what happens when you double click a layer in an effort to add it to QGIS. One of several possible things happens: Add Vector Layer: - Double clicking a file closes the Open an OGR supported Vector Layer dialog but keeps open the Add vector layer dialog. Add Raster Layer: - Double clicking a raster closes the dialog and adds the file immediately to QGIS. Add Oracle / SpatiaLite tables (maybe the other databases too?) - Double clicking a table brings up a Query Builder for that table. Add WMS and Add WCS - Double clicking does nothing. Add WFS - Opens up Expression string builder dialog To me at least this is very wrong. They should all behave in the exact same way when I double click something. Personally I'd say the raster way is the correct one - that's how all other applications work when I double click something to add, be it a GIS or a text editor or anything. I appreciate why opening query/expression builders may be useful, but I don't think it should be the default action on double-clicking. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

Hi Larry, No problem. I just figured I should ask first as there may have been a reason for it. Don't worry, I know where the tracker is, this is report number 9 for today. ;-) Reported as http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8700 Regards, Jonathan On 26 September 2013 18:10, Larry Shaffer lar...@dakotacarto.com wrote: Hi Jonathan, On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Jonathan Moules jonathanmou...@warwickshire.gov.uk wrote: Hi List, I've noted some inconsistency in what happens when you double click a layer in an effort to add it to QGIS.

Re: [Qgis-user] UI - Double clicking a layer to add it
Hi, For Postgis and Oracle there are options in the Settings -- Options -- Datasources. There you can define what double click on a table means. But yes, it is a bit inconsistent. I think I got used to it. No major trouble, but would be nice if behaviour could be unified. Andreas Am 26.09.2013 19:15, schrieb Jonathan Moules: Hi Larry, No problem.
