Hello, Lucy, le mer. 23 juil. 2025 11:01:36 +0200, a ecrit: > 2. The double-click change is functionally regressive > > Single-click has been the KDE default for over a decade I have always found this behavior surprising because on desktop computers, I've only seen it in KDE. And thus I find it *dangerous* because users don't expect the file to suddenly get opened just because they clicked on it (to remove it, rename it, etc.). I don't think Debian should diverge from upstream KDE's decision on this. > This is not about nostalgia. It is not about UI philosophy.

Which is exactly what this change is about, from what I can see. Samuel
