Click to select vs click to open

Kenneth Ingham-2
Digikam recently (in the last month or few on OpenSuse tumbleweed)
changed from click to select to click to open the image in the preview
pane.  This is really a pain for me, because I use digikam to set tags,
organize images, etc.  When a click opens an image instead of selects
it, I then have to go back to thumbnail view to do whatever I am trying
to do (e.g., select a range).

I looked through the DigiKam settings, but I do not see any options to
change this to the prior behavior.  I see "Thumbnail click action", but
it does not offer a "select" option.  I would rather double click to
open and single to select.

In the global KDE settings (System settings -> Input devices -> Mouse)
there is an option "Double click to open files and folders (select icons
on first click)".  This is what I want in Digikam (or for it to use this
option).  How can I get this behavior?

Re: Click to select vs click to open

I too have seen this on openSUSE Leap. Really annoying. I have noticed
that if I click on the space immediately below the thumbnail it does
select the image, only if you click on the image itself does this
happen. I am using digikam v4 on Plasma 5 btw.

So, do you mean that there is no difference between selecting single
click and double click in the system settings? I'm on openSUSE Leap
42.1 and by changing this setting it changes the behaviour in digikam.
I.e. by selecting double click in system settings I have to double
click an image to preview while single click selects the image.

I have that set in System Settings for Leap but in digikam a single
click on the actual image opens a preview but a single click or double
click outside the image but within the area for that image only selects
it never opens the preview.

Re: Click to select vs click to open

Gilles Caulier-4
Note : With digiKam 5.0.0, this settings will not depend of KDE settings anymore. Remember that we work hard to make a pure Qt5 application. This is clear goal for future versions.

5.0.0 will not yet a pure Qt5 application. The last 10% of KDE dependencies are hard to drop or to make optional (KXmlGui, KConfig, Ki18n, KService...) but it' under way, at least to make KDE relevant code wrapped in dedicated classes to be able to turn on/off KDE dependencies.

Of course, under Linux, we will support KDE, but under OSX and Windows, we can forget KDE definitively, and use native system technologies instead.

Note2 : 

- Under OSX, all the digiKam code compile fine now, and Macports packages (KF5 included) are mostly done but not yet integrated to Macport repositories.


- Under Windows, the packaging is more complex to do , but a new packager work on this (he package already Gim and Darktable under Windows)
