Change to Files view 3. Single click on a folder OBSERVED RESULT Folder is opened EXPECTED RESULT Folder is selected Operating System: KDE neon 5.27 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 Kernel Version: 5.19.0-41-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2
This is true, and technically it's a "file view" that you would expect to respect that setting. So I can see where you're coming from. On the other hand, the entire reason for double-click to exist in the first place is to make it easier to select items by clicking them once so you can then perform actions on them. But these folders have no actions which can be performed on them when selected, aside from the ones that appear on hover, so it wouldn't actually make sense to respect the setting. Therefore, we have to weigh the following: - On one hand, it's inconsistent with other file views that to respect the setting. - On the other hand, because this file view has no "selected" state, respecting the setting would have no benefit outside of increasing consistency and would introduce the drawbacks of slower interactions and inconsistency with other grid views within the app. So in this case we made the judgment that the latter concern carried more weight. Hope that helps to explain the situation.
