Re: Default to single click to open files and folders
Some concern has been raised about the discoverability of drag, this might
be crack but what if on hover we did something like what is shown in Joern
Konopk's mockup[0], but part of what appears on hover is something that
resembles a window border/title bar.
Users already know that they can drag their windows around their desktop by
grabbing the title bar, so why not reuse that metaphor? The checkbox would
be in the corner of this title bar, and it would be a safe area where
misclicking wouldn't accidentally open the file.
