[digiKam-users] V6 appimage on Linux 64bit issue with single click

[Sky Diver]

@Maik, out of curiosity: is this issue related to  bug #401709 (Double
clicking a name in a face-frame closes image preview)?

In any case, there are the double-click freaks on one side and the
single-click freaks on the other side.
This sounds like a classic user-preference-flag scenario.

When you have KDE set the way I have it is completely counter-intuitive. It takes  some remembering especially as I don't use digikam every day and will probably confuse some folks where every other application follows the KDE setting.
