            Bug ID: 427520
           Summary: Single click should select, not open
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open a folder in Dolphin
2. click on a folder or file icon

OBSERVED RESULT

IF it's a folder, opens it in Dolphin

If it's a file, opens it with the defaut application

EXPECTED RESULT

This is stupid. In EVERY other file manager, clicking on an item selects it. To
open it, you double-click. That has been an established convention for very
long, and a sensible one. 

Now, in order to select a single item you need to draw a rectangle around it as
if you were to select several ones.

This is obviously by design, but it's a wrong design decision and needs to be
reverted.

Now I guess there's a setting where I can change the behavior, then that's
wonderful, but the default behavior should still be a sensible, intuitive one,
that is, the conventional one.
