Tweak: control behavior of the book list

einniv · 07-26-2013, 02:09 PM

Why would setting double click behavior to 'edit_metadata' disable editing a field using a single click? If it can distinguish between a single click and double click when launching a viewer (as it does on the default setting), it should be able to do so for editing metadata, right? Seems very strange to me. Could this be considered a bug, or perhaps a feature request?

From the tweaks preferences:
Control behavior of the book list
ID: doubleclick_on_library_view

You can control the behavior of doubleclicks on the books list.
Choices: open_viewer, do_nothing,
edit_cell, edit_metadata. Selecting edit_metadata 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.

It is not a bug. It is a "feature" of the GUI library that calibre uses.

Thanks Chaley.

Just seemed weird to me since apparently the gui library can handle it fine when it is set to launch a viewer. Oh well, just thought I'd ask in case it was an easy to fix thing.
