Single click (sc) is _far_ superior than double click (dc), just ask my 65+ year old parents ;-) KDE is since ever per default a sc system and every application has to take care that it also works without dc.
  
But if you used to use sc you are also trained to use ctrl or shift for advanced selection, so per se there is no problem with digiKam.

Mixing sc and dc is IMHO a clear no go! There is one KDE app that also has this problem and a config option and that is kaddressbook. Maybe time to find a good solution for multi-select and edit in sc systems? 

For digiKam a small tag box or a collection drop area would increase usability and IMHO this is also criticized by "Kelly Penguin Girl" in

There is a patch in the Devel-ML to have make a selection by clicking image border ( http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110178 ).
