612 - Probelm with selecting items

#1 Post by peter77 » 23.01.2013, 12:10

I updated to 612 but now i have problem with selecting items. My settings are:

open files with single click
open folders with single click
full row select

In detailed view if i click outside the name column it execute the file or open the folder instead to select them.

In detailed view can you select item when "Full row select" and open file and folders with single click is checked?

If you're using single click to open files/folders, they should be opened, so this part is working good IMO. That old behavior was wrong.

I agree there should be an easy way to select the item when using a single click, for example, with the middle click - so it would be working like this:

- middle click - select item
- left single click - open item

I thought with my settings if i click next to the file/folder name inside the name column it will open them, and when click outside the name column it will only select them.

This was a bug, actually, but when I think now - it was not so illogical, perhaps it would be nice as option, for details and list view.

I think it will be good if this can be set as a default behavior because if the single file/folder click and full row select are enabled there is no way to select an item with a left click.

Perhaps there should be another similar background color, so it would be intuitive, like this for example, # means background:

List view:

| filename.exe ################ |
or
| filename ################.exe |

Details view:

| filename | .exe | 2.49 MB ##### |

* background color to open item with single click option
* background color to select item with single click option

Those colors would be only for active item, I'm not sure it's a perfect solution, but the option to select item when clicking the area with this color - and open item (file/folder) when clicking on the area with this color would be definitely very useful, perhaps even better than my idea to select items with middle click.
