Regarding Gilles comments,

please do not mistake this for a simple/double click discussion (there is another bug somewhere for that, which like you say is configurable in the control panel and is not an issue here).

The issue here is that on a double click (or simple click if so configured) the Digikam Editor is brought up, whereas many users expect the Viewer.  In my case I often mistakenly double click a say 8 MB RAW image and it can take the editor up to 10 seconds to load the image, when all I wanted to do was view the image which takes about 1 second.  Of course I should know the editor will come up but non the less I often click it in haste and it is very very annoying.
Quite a few people have expressed similar sentiments which is why I posted this wish.  

So the request is to make the following changes:

Add a configuration option in Digikam settings to allow a selection such as,

Thumbnail click action: [ ] Open image in Viewer [ ] Open image in Editor

Also, if possible, when right-clicking on an image in the Viewer bring up the same menu as is in the thumbnail view right-click.

No popups should be necessary and I don't think points 3 and 4 are being discussed here so they shouldn't be a concern (it's not a discussion about which Editor to open, only Viewer/Editor as default).

Sincerely,

BAB
