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

[Anders Stedtlund]

So, do you mean that there is no difference between selecting single
click and double click in the system settings? I'm on openSUSE Leap
42.1 and by changing this setting it changes the behaviour in digikam.
I.e. by selecting double click in system settings I have to double
click an image to preview while single click selects the image.
