Yeah, I know. Using shortcuts is another way to work swiftly. By the way, it
would be really great if Kdenlive included a (say, the standard Ctrl+I) default
shortcut for the "Add Clip or Folder" function.

But, I think, this is more about being able to accommodate various valid
workflows to the furthest extent possible, to make the program as friendly as
possible to different kinds of people or use cases (without colliding with each
other, of course).

Regarding your concerns about having different functions, based only on
horizontal spacing, please notice that currently if you double click on the
folder icon you will be opening/closing the folder, while doing the same over
the text next to it, will be renaming it. Two functions on the same row, just a
few pixels away from each other.
What I suggest here is considering the "empty row space" as a third area, and
assign the "Add Clip or Folder" function to it.

As a side note, it surprised me that double clicking where there is no text,
executed the rename text function, it's a behavior I didn't expect. (I expected
either to open the "Add clip" action, to just open/close the folder or to do
nothing at all, but not to rename a text I wasn't targeting with the mouse
pointer).
In fact while testing, I've come across a potential bug (video attached): 
Depending on what you've just done previously, doing a double click over the
empty right side of the bin row, will (sometimes, randomly?) execute the rename
or the open/close folder actions.


To close, my main point with this suggestion is that if the program allows for
a certain workflow to be used for some task (in this case importing clips),
it'd be good for this kind of workflow to be effective to the widest extent
possible.
Currently, the double click to import workflow can only be used for importing
media into the main space of a bin (95% of times, the Project Bin), for any
other situation it loses practicality.
If we can improve that to accommodate also importing media into any folder, I
personally think it'll be an improvement for the program that will make it
likeable to more people.
