Double Click with Preview

Post by P G Martin »

If I have Preview turned off, double-clicking a filename opens the file in the default app, as expected.

If I have preview turned on, the same action is treated as two single clicks. The file is previewed, then I'm invited to rename the file. Not expected!

Happens with any file type.

What preview handlers are you using?

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
Please make sure you are using the x64 version of Everything. (Help -> About Everything -> Version)
