Exactly. In KDE and Windows in single-click mode file manager, one clicks the file to open it, and if he needs to select it he can either use the rubber-band feature (draw a rectangle around the icon) or can use the Ctrl key to select multiple files. I think that Nautilus may have this, but other Gnome apps, such as F-Spot also use double-click. In fact, I really don't see any reason why F-Spot uses double click instead of single click, as single click on the thumbnails does nothing. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com _______________________________________________ usability mailing list usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
