One click to open not working always (gets highlighted)

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

One click to open not working always (gets highlighted)

Post by *bogordo »

I have TC configured to open folder/files with one click, since 9.5 final, sometimes when i click into a folder it gets highlighted but i don't access the folder, is somehow random...

I don't think it's random. When clicking on the icon of an object, TC will select it, but when clicking on its name, TC executes the one-click action when enabled.

If you click on a folder in the active TC panel, it should open with one click.

If you click on a folder in the inactive TC panel, the folder in the other window first gets the focus
and it needs a second click to open the folder.

wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
SingleClickStart=1

Thank you, but this is not the problem.

When moving from one panel to other and clicking at the "very beginning" of a file/folder name it gets selected/highlighted, at this point i only can click again to change the name (can't open with my oneclick opining confguration).

Solution: not clicking at the very beginning of the name, so the second click opens the file/folder.

Do you display icons on the list? Any list item can be selected and highlighted when you click its icon, if you have set IconClickSelection=1

I have the icons disable, this is why I said "very beginning of name" :), but ok, I understand this is the intended behavior.

In fact, putting IconClickSelection=0 "solve" the issue ;)

Thank you,

It seems that with icons disabled and singleclickstart enabled, cliking in the area where the icon would have been, selects the file/folder instead of opening it.

Increasing the icon size and/or increasing the Extra Horizontal Space will increase the part of the file name where the file will get selected when clicking.

I think this qualifies as a bug.

Sorry but I prefer to keep it this way. Removing features always creates a big backlash.

It is not really removing a feature, I think. Maybe just set IconClickSelection=0 automatically when Showicons=0 - would that be feasible?
