Selecting item on the list...

aleksei_iv · 11-09-2017, 08:12 AM

Is it normal when you click (once) on the title, author, date, format etc. in the main list of books it becomes automatically editable? It's a little annoying.

Thanks for the help.

(I'm running version 2.85.1; newer versions might behave differently.)

Yes, it is normal behavior. If a row is already highlighted, a single click on title, author, etc. allows you to edit the field. I find this convenient, not annoying.

Um, I understand. That's because I never intentionally edit anything from there; only sometimes by mistake.

Nice one, master. With "do_nothing", "edit_cell" or any other function the viewer can still be opened by double-clicking the order number in addition to the formats in the book details.
It's all better now!

Ta.

Kovid is a time traveler from the future. He knows what we want before we know what we want.

When we do know what we want and ask for it ... it is already there!
