           Summary: Open and Save dialogs do not honor the "doble click to
                    open files and folders" option
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mmtsales at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When a file is single-clicked in the Save Dialog, the dialog automatically
tries do overwrite that file, instead of just copying it's name to the file
name edit box as it was done in KDE 3.5.x. This happens even if the "double
click to open files and folders" is selected in System Configuration -> Mouse &
Keyboard.
This behaviour prevents the user to click an existing file to use it's name
with few modifications to save the new file (for example, to add a sequence
number to an existing file name). Every time a file is to be saved, it's name
has to be typed, even if there's already a file with a similar name that could
be used as a base for the new file's name.
This problem also occurs in the Open Dialog, but it's not so harmful in this
dialog, once you will not want to modify a file name to a non-existing one in
this case.
