[Digikam-users] Click to select vs click to open

[Stuart T Rogers]

I too have seen this on openSUSE Leap. Really annoying. I have noticed 
that if I click on the space immediately below the thumbnail it does 
select the image, only if you click on the image itself does this 
happen. I am using digikam v4 on Plasma 5 btw.
