Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc-4.22 OS: Linux As in the topic: icons on panel and desktop dont execute programs when doubleclick option is activated in system settings->keyboard&mouse->mouse. To reporduce this bug follow this steps; 1. set option to "open files/folders with one click" in system settings->keyboard&mouse->mouse. (im translating name of this option from polish so it may not be accurate). 2. add a program icon into panel via kickoff. 3. click icon You added - > result progam is launched. 4. set option to "open files/folders with double click" in system settings->keyboard&mouse->mouse. 5. click icon You added - > result progam is launched. 6. remove added icon. 7. add this icon again. 8, click on the icon -> result progam is NOT launched. Same situation appears with icons on "desktop". I hope this helps and i hope there is no other bug report about it (i searched and didnt find anything)
hmmm, i see Object::connect: No such signal Plasma::Icon::doubleClicked() indeed :(
Well now (4.0.0) when you have double click enabled and you double click a program icon, two instances of the program will pop up! (Basically, plasma seems to be ignoring the double click option now)
SVN commit 759525 by aseigo: implement a doubleClicked signal. i must admit that using signals that don't exist to implement needed features in applets is an inventive way to force me to implement stuff in libplasma ;) BUG:155413 M +7 -0 icon.cpp M +9 -4 icon.h M +2 -0 icon_p.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=759525
Looks like I forgot to commit those changes. That must have been why it worked for me.
*** Bug 156217 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Quick question: this fix got into kde 4.0.1? If not, will be in 4.0.2 or only 4.1?
kubuntu kde 4.0.1 : not fixed
Still not fixed on 4.0.1 openSUSE packages.
kubuntu kde 4.0.2 : not fixed And I got to restart KDE to have the single click / double click applied.
Can we please have it backported to KDE4.0? It is a VERY bad UI bug, both for having to restart the desktop to change mouse behavior as to double-click not working. Currently I am not using any icon in the desktop because of this bug :-(
please vote to indicate that you hope to have this bug backported to 4.0.x. Confirming not fixed in 4.0.2 (debian)
Created attachment 23835 [details] Untested backport to 4.0-branch The patch above is a plain backport of the commit done with r759525 in trunk back to the 4.0-branch. 1. download the patch 2. cd kdebase && patch -p0 < ThePatchFile.patch && recompile Now we only would need someone who likes to test it and to verify that it really does the job, hint, hint :)
Created attachment 23836 [details] Updated patch. Seems beside http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=120000775515531&w=2 there was so much done between related to icons in trunk, that there are only a hand full of lines that looks similar to how it was done in 4.0 :-/ Well, anyway. I double and tribble checked the backport and it should work fine. But still we would need someone who is motivate enough to try; * if icon-doubleclicks really work now as expected AND * if icon-singleclick still work like without that patch.
I've made a patched version of the debian package libplasma1. Double-click on the desktop works. I haven't test single-click yet. (Another bug says that one needs to restart KDE to transition between single- and double- click.) Thanks for the double-click action at least! Debian package: https://filer.case.edu/dav/cws10/public/libplasma1_4.0.2-1_i386.deb
single click works as it always has for me (i.e. not very well).
thank you very much CSights! So, the fix got committed with r783906 to the 4.0-branch and will be available KDE 4.0.3 :-)
in 4.0.3 bug fixed but : - Still got to restart kde to activate the new option - Have to double click shortcuts icons on the panel too !!!
