Double-click to Edit Metadata

sourcecodemage · 01-13-2025, 10:03 PM

I'd like double-click to edit metadata. I found the setting at Preferences->Tweaks->Control behavior of book list , but I don't know what to set it to.

It's current set to "open_viewer"
What would be the correct setting to edit metadata? "edit_metadata" perhaps?

Google searches are failing to find the answer, so hopefully someone here knows.

Code:

doubleclick_on_library_view = 'edit_metadata'

Don't forget it's a double commit, Apply changes to this tweak and then Apply

I like single-click so I have...

doubleclick_on_library_view = 'do_nothing'

then in Plugin Tweaks:

action_chains_single_click_edit = True

(I also have action_chains_experimental = True but IIRC this is required only to run chains as jobs)
