Open path with double click in path column... column or path?

Post by damasd »

Hello!
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but if you double click inside the Path column area but not on the actual path text, you're still opening the file/folder as if you'd click on the actual file/folder result.
I would expect it to open the path no matter where I click inside the path column.

See here:
double click on the red area still opens the file/folder even if inside the Path column area.

Along with this I'd like to ask if you could add this same "double click ->opens path" behaviour also for the Parent Name column. This would be really handy!

Thanks a lot for the hard work!

Thanks! I have no idea why that was set to true.

path_hit_text_only was set to true in early versions.

The default is now false.
