Description Hakon 2001-11-20 18:50:42 UTC 
I know that there's a way to choose single-click in Nautilus.
But I think that option should be moved to control center.
But then it should not only apply to Nautilus, but to ALL similar 
operations, such as open file dialog windows.

Just doing some tagging of files I've already triaged. Filter on 'luis doing
GNOME2 work' to get rid of the spam.

Updating all cc bugs that have the GNOME2 keyword set to the GNOME2.0 milestone,
to help jrb triage/prioritize cc bugs. Filter on 'luis doing GNOME2 work' to
ignore this spam.

Changing component to gtk instead.
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2002-07-30 03:16:07 UTC 
Would only maek sense if the file selector was using something
that looked like icons; if it was using lists, it should act
like a list.
Comment 5 Hakon 2002-07-31 10:47:32 UTC 
OK, but at least for the directory list it would be nice, because you
can't do anything by simply clicking once there anyway.
In that case, the mouse pointer should switch to a "hand" or
soemthing, in order to clearly (?) indicate that a single click is
expected.
Isn't that how MS Win works? Not saying that GNOME should work like
Windows straight off, but anyway.

GQview for example uses single click when selecting directories.
It uses gtk-1.2 but not the gtk file selector.

Okay I'm convinced that this could be closed. So i'm closing.
