(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3)
If we ask users if the start center should behave like the file manager,
what do you think they reply? Or alternatively we ask for single vs. double
click preference and additionally how the execution is done in the file
manager. I bet there is nearly 100% correlation.
As the start center is about selection and not about management, i believe they
would say that it shouldnt behave like a file manager. Different users will
prefer the single or double click preference on their DE and in their file
manager, but the start center isnt a file manager.
The question is also kind of Linux sophism since Windows has always double
click execution. Or am I wrong here?
A user can change to single click execution on windows if they like.
My second argument was that you limit the options for the UI with single
click, meaning there is, for instance, no selection without execution (not
talking about multi-selection). And the right click aka context menu without
selection may work but would be really weird and contradictory to usability.
If there is a UI option that is negatively affected by the single click
activation, please let me know, as i dont see it. We dont have mult-selection
or drag and drop for reorganization, so there isnt any other option that comes
to mind that warrants a double click activation.
Checked MSO's start center and it activates recent documents and templates with
single click.
