My answers to Renchi:
I won't change a global option, which is set to the value I generally prefer, to fix an issue with a single application.

So the question is: Why do I prefer single-click everywhere but in digikam?
Because it is quite different from a file manager. There is a clearly defined "primary action", which is opening. You can do renaming, moving, deleting, but if you open Konqueror in ~, with 80% of your clicks you will want to open a file, even more with a directory.

In digikam, there is no such outstanding action. I may want to tag, view properties, show a group of pictures in a slideshow, etc. Also note that operations on a group of pictures are probably much more common than on a single one. I would even argue that selecting is the one primary action, but this might be very different with your and others' way to use digikam.

So I do not say "opening should be double click" or "add an extra configure option". I say "do not always open the image editor on a single click". My suggestion is the patch I posted on #110178. Or some other great new innovative idea someone comes up with.
