Hey developers :) There has been quite a discussion on Ubuntu’s usability mailing list (Ayatana) about making single click standard or not: https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg01863.html (There are some mockups as well.) The single click was mainly mentioned for usability (open may be the most common file action) and accessibility reasons (not able to click fast); whereas double click was about relearning problems and problems with other file actions (select, move etc.). But mainly because in some apps (GtkFileChooser for example) that is just not supported because the single click mode is currently local to Nautilus. See also the thread on GNOME’s usability mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2010-May/msg00012.html (+ bug report) Since the global implementation is the main hurdle for single click to be consistent: Is there any development in this field going on or have there been discussions about that? _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
