           Summary: Single-Click behaviour on folders and tags not KDE
                    conform and very annoying
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.4
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: krienke at uni-koblenz.de


Version:           0.9.4 (using KDE 3.5.10)
Compiler:          4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Recently I noticed a strange behaviour when doing a single click on folders as
well as on tags. KDE is configured to open folders only on double click.

When doing a single click on a folder in digikam this folder is eautomatically
xpanded. The same is true for the tag hierachy. A click on a tag shows all
subtags. I tried an older 0.9.4-rc1 version of digikam which shows the correct
behavour i.e. a folder is only opened when I double click on it.

When you eg have enable a recursive view of your folders and you want to go
through your top folders, at the moment you cannot that easily because by
clicking on a folder it is automatically opened pushing all other top folders
down in the window. So you have to close it again. And all the time folders in
the folder window are moving up and down just because there are opened
automatically which is annoying if you do not want to see the subfolders. The
more subfolders a folder has  the more annoying this behaviour gets.

Another problem is that when tagging photos by entering the tag names directly
you have to select the parent tag the new tags should belong to. But by
selecting the parent this parent opens and shows all its children which is
really annoying because the view of tagnames suddenly changes and you cannot
access other tags that were visible up to now. This should not happen by
simlply selecting a tag. Thats what the + sign in front of the tag is good for.

After all the problem with this behaviuor now is, that it does not conform to
the standard KDE behaviour eg.: in konqueror a folder does not show its
subfolders when doing a single click on it (when KDE is configured to react on
double clicks). So digikam should like all other kde apps respect the
"single-click"  <->
"double click"  global settings of KDE and if double click is configured
digikam should behave accordingly.

I did not find a way to configure the behaviour in digikam, which would be Ok
as well allthough there is already a global KDE configuration for this.
