Description Alex 2012-09-15 11:49:25 UTC

Gwenview 2.7.4
KDE 4.7.4

On the left menu (directory) tree there is inconsistent behaviour when double clicking,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter Browse mode
2. expand any folder (let's call it "One") in left side menu
3. navigate to any other folder (let's call it "Two")
4. now assume I want to go back to "One" to see what files/directories it does contain
5. double click "One" in left side menu
Actual Results:  
You get navigated back to "One" (correctly); however, "One" gets collapsed

Expected Results:  
"One" should remain expanded. There should be way to navigate back without collapsing "One".

Such behavior is really annoying. I see two possible solutions:
* disable collapse/expand by double click completely
* use single click to navigate between directories
I would vote for second approach. 

PS: see attached image for additional description.

I agree. I would also favor single click for this.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2017-09-10 03:40:08 UTC

Yup. Annoying.

You cannot select multiple items in the tree view, so switching folders on first click already should be the way to go. After all, this way we'd be consistent with Dolphin.

Note that after fixing this, it should be made sure that the toggling behaviour introduced in https://phabricator.kde.org/D9886 still works fine.

(Expanding/Folding a folder on double click is standard behaviour in such widgets, though, and thus wanted. We won't change that.)

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?
