Double Click Options

I thought I'd seen a setting to control what happens when I double click a book in the book listing page.

Now when I DC, it opens the Viewer. I'd like to have it open Edit Metadata instead.

Am I just not remembering correctly, or can some one point me to the setting for that?

Thanks

See Preferences / Tweaks / Control behavior of the book list (ID: doubleclick_on_library_view):

Quote:

You can control the behavior of doubleclicks on the books list.
Choices: open_viewer, do_nothing,
edit_cell, edit_metadata. Selecting anything other than open_viewer has the
side effect of disabling editing a field using a single click.
Default: open_viewer.
Example: doubleclick_on_library_view = 'do_nothing'
You can also control whether the book list scrolls horizontal per column or
per pixel. Default is per column.

Thanks

Another issue / question

I added 'edit_metadata' like I think I was supposed to, but the [Apply] button is dimmed out

I checked tweak_book_gui.json in my AppData just in case, and it's not protected and I'm the owner

Am I doing it right?

Ahhh - thanks.

In this area, IMHO I think the UI is a little confusing

In #3, the window size was such that {Apply Changes to this Tweak] was off the screen until I scrolled. I took (wrongly) the scroll bar to be for the text area

Works now

Thanks to both of you

The button for the first level was scrolled off the bottom of the 'inner' window and I just missed it.
