Does Dolphin respect some kind of generic double-click setting in Qt or elsewhere (which Systemsettings sets for Plasma users), or is this all directly dependent on Plasma's Systemsettings? Depending on that, moving the marker option out of Dolphin would cut off Dolphin users from other desktops.
  
  
  Other desktops use double-click as the selection/opening behavior and have no option to add selection markers (except for Windows which does have that option, I believe). So Dolphin would actually be more consistent with other platforms.

  I'm talking about the user's mental model not the current state of affairs. Also, opening a folder in Folder view just opens Dolphin by default, so I'm not sure what difference you're referring to? Maybe the drag-and-hover behavior?
