Description Grósz Dániel 2009-01-16 22:10:56 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In file dialogs if I click on a directory, it only inserts its name in the Name field, I have to double click or click on Open to open it. I use single click on my system (and it works in Dolphin). Directories in should be opened by one click because the user rarely needs to select more than one directory or edit the name of the directory in a file dialog. (It is OK that files are not opened on a single click because this way it is easier to select multiple files or edit the name of an existing file before saving. So the KDE 3 behavior is the most usable.)

There was Bug 167909 that even files, even in double click mode, were opened by a single click. Maybe the resolution of that problem is what created this.

Lately I also have to double click on the module icons in Systemsettings despite my system is configured to single click.
Comment 2 Jonathan Marten 2009-02-01 14:49:21 UTC 
Confirmed file selector single/double click with current trunk.

Regarding comment #1:  Single click is working properly, though, in systemsettings.  That may be a separate problem, so please open a new bug for that if it can be reproduced.

Comment 4 Grósz Dániel 2009-02-01 15:03:39 UTC 
OK, I reported the Systemsettings issue (which still exists at me on 4.2.0) in a new report (Bug 182726).

Comment 6 Jonathan Marten 2009-06-06 14:10:26 UTC 
File selector single/double click is possibly style-related, see bug 194481 (which may be a duplicate of this one).
Comment 7 Grósz Dániel 2009-06-06 19:27:39 UTC 
Style-related indeed, like the Systemsettings Bug 182726 . While single click works in Dolphin regardless of style (probably it is handled by Dolphin code which obeys the KDE settings) the file dialog and Systemsettings use a Qt widget which obeys the KDE configuration only if a KDE style is used.

I think, instead of making Qt widgets use KDE configuration in the KDE styles, KDE should subclass the Qt widget and make the KDE widget obey the KDE settings regardless of style, and KDE apps should use the KDE settings. (Bug 166683 is a similar case.) I'll probably file a separate wish for this.

Comment 11 Christoph Feck 2010-03-14 18:47:48 UTC 
Fixed for KDE SC 4.4. See bug 201863 for a discussion. Bug 201863 comment #26 explains how it is solved for non-KDE styles.
Comment 12 Grósz Dániel 2010-03-14 19:50:45 UTC 
Thank you much, I was not aware that this had been fixed.
