Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs My KDE is configured in "Single-click" mode. When I click an icon in KIconDialog, the icon is directly returned. It should instead be selected only. And returned if the user double-click. This double-click behaviour I propose is the one also used in File/Open dialog. A dialog should not be closed with a click by the user when he does not expect its action will close the dialog. This change will make KDE more consistent. Idem with the dialog to select a directory: a click on a folder do not exit the dialog...
I don't agree. If you configured it for single-click mode, then single-click select and activates. The behaviour you describe sounds, therefore, correct.
So, at least make the behaviour the same for KOpenDialog/KSaveDialog and KIconDialog. Then, you should fix KOpenDialog. But I remember a thread (was it on a mailing list or here... don't remember) where people were against changing KOpenDialog. I agree that when I first used KDE, KOpenDialog was not obeing the KDE mouse config, so for consistency we should fix it.
