Why Double-click has been replaced by one-click ?

New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

Why Double-click has been replaced by one-click ?

Post#1 by lukaluki » 12 Mar 2018, 20:14

It allready made me some kind of confused that porteus uses one-click for opening files, which is strange behavior for me. On Porteus 3 I always had to open "mouse" config and changed click action to double-click.
I cant find any mouse option in Porteus 4 though, how to change it ?

cheers

lukaluki, thanks for your feedback. It seems xf86-input-libinput was missing while building KDE5, hence mouse configuration is missing in KDE system settings.
I will rebuild KDE5 with xf86-input-libinput as dependency.

Done. Poll: Single Click or Double Click to open items in File Manager?

Please note the OP's suggestion here was only for KDE. AFAIK all other DEs use double click for opening.

Thanks for looking into that. I think double click is the way to go as it is common behavior and nearly all people are used to it.

Can you please provide me with the libinput or a temp fix for the rc4 ?

libinput-1.8.3-x86_64-2_slonly.txz allready installed
xf86-input-libinput-0.25.0-x86_64-6_slonly.txz not installed

so I guess its the input.libinput which is missing ? I downloaded and activated the xzm, but no mouse option available.
Sorry if I sound like a noob on that :/

xf86-input-libinput is part of slackware current. It can be got as

Code: Select all

getpkg xf86-input-libinput
But unfortunately, just adding this library only would not get back the mouse settings. KDE would have to be rebuilt with this library installed.

This has been fixed in KDE for rc5. I think once the holidays are over you could expect a release of rc5 soon.

I guess I have to wait for rc5 than. Hopefully the vpn issue will also be adressed :/
