Gnome 3.16 & Wayland: double-click no worky and no desktop icons/menu
I understand Wayland and Gnome are getting closer to "finished", and indeed my laptop's touchpad (HP Folio 13) now detects taps as primary mouse clicks, which is a marked improvement over 3.14, where taps weren't detected at all. Couple of issues stop it being "daily use" for me at present however:
1) Despite "Test your settings" correctly showing "double-click primary button", the double-click isn't working as it should in Nautilus/Files i.e. double clicking or double tapping on a folder icon fails to open said folder. Interestingly double-click to drag *does* work, so I'm suspecting a Nautilus problem. NB double click with a proper mouse also doesn't work, so it's not a trackpad problem per se.
2) Second problem is that my desktop icons (Home and a couple of folders) aren't showing up, despite using gnome-tweak-tool to set the desktop icons "On". And when I right-click on the gnome-wayland desktop the context menu only shows "Change Desktop Background" and "Settings...".
Both of these probems aren't present on Gnome under X.

I can confirm both of these on my own Gnome 3.16 desktop as well. The no desktop icons I believe is a known thing with Gnome on Wayland (it doesn't exist, just like restarting Gnome Shell with Alt+F2 and r does not exist under Wayland either). The first issue I have never seen anywhere, and it does not seem limited to touchpads (hook up a mouse and you will see the same thing). Anyone experienced the lack of double click for folders in Nautilus/Files under Wayland? Any solutions?

I double clicked on something and now the Firefox Menu button has disappeared. How do I retrieve it?
I have been looking for information on how to save passwords. After I clicked on the Menu button, I double-clicked on an item in the list. Now the Menu button is gone. The name of the tab is at the top and under it the File, Edit... bar. I tried reloading Firefox hoping that the default setting would reappear. It did not.
Go to '''View''' then '''Toolbars''' and ''UNcheck'' '''Menu Bar''' [].
thank you

Can someone help me?How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?
What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS. -
The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.
Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.

Yesterday double clicked home button and all of my apps disappeared; cannot shut off i-pad, and syncing it does not restore apps or enable me to use it again. Help!
See if this fixes things.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
when ever i am about to add the file i double click on it and the box just dissapears does anyone else have this issue? please help me if you did!
Make sure you are viewing your image at 100%. At smaller views, pixels and layers and the way they interact are approximate interpolations and won't show you the actual pixel-for-pixel changes.

I bought a book on iTunes (a small pamphlet on upgrading to Mountain Lion) and I double click on it and nothing happens. iTunes store does indicate that the file was downloaded.
I am not a hundred per cent sure but my guess is that you have to sync that pamphlet to an iPhone or iPad to read it just like ebooks

how do I now close apps the old way of double clicking Siri button and touching the app no longer works
There isn't currently a way to edit or control which apps appear in the 'open in' list apart from deleting (or deleting and reinstalling) apps - you could try leaving feedback and maybe in the future we'll have some sort of control : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Photoshop doesn't open double clicked or drag and drop files
Hello.
I'm running a dual G5 with Photoshop CS. I recently reinstalled the system and upgraded to the latest version of Tiger. Everything worked good as new, and then one day Photoshop stopped opening files. If I double click on a photoshop file, the program opens, but no image ever appears. If I drag the file onto the photoshop icon in the dock, same result. The only way to successfully open an image is to do the old apple+O. This only affects Photoshop CS. I repaired permissions and ran kron scripts, but nothing helps. Reinstalling Photoshop did not help either. What else can I try?
Thanks.
BenSounds like you are missing this:
"/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types"
If that is the case, create the ScriptingAdditions folder (note there is NO space in the name) in the /Library folder (the one at the root level of the drive, not the one in your home folder). Then download and unzip this:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/pdfs/AdobeTypes.zip
Put the "Adobe Unit Types" file into the ScriptingAdditions folder.
Or you can do what Adobe says and reinstall Photoshop--why they don't make just that one file available I don't know.

Unable to close open apps with double clicking the button and when I tap screen does not respond?
Cannot not close open apps with double clicking the button Since downloading iOS8.
What happens when you try? Does double clicking the ?home button bring up the Task Bar of recently used apps? If so what happens when you flick up on the preview screen for the app you want to close?
To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. -
Incorrect detection of double-clicks in layers and channels windows. (Mac OS X 10.6.8)
Photoshop will detect a double-click in the layers and channels panels even when there are different modifier keys held down on the first click vs. the second click.
I have never intended to double-click and accidentally changed the modifiers I was holding down between clicks. I often perform an action requiring modifier keys and immediately follow it with an action that requires no modifiers (or different modifiers).
I realize that the conventions for what constitutes a double-click are platform dependent and not particularly well documented, but I do expect Photoshop to work the way that my operating system does (Mac OS X 10.6.8)). I know older versions of Windows detected double-clicks even when modifiers were changed between clicks, but I believe the latest versions behave similarly to OS X.
Examples:
Start by having a document open with multiple alpha channels and layers in it.
Select an alpha channel by clicking on it's thumbnail in the channels panel.
Quickly hold down the control key and click again.
Result: this brings up the "Channel Options" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
Expected result: should bring up the channel's contextual menu.
Bonus extra nitpick: The window opened on mouse-down, not on mouse-up.
Create a non-blank alpha channel.
Hold down the command key and click on that alpha channel's thumbnail. (loads the channel into the selection)
Quickly release the command key and press the mouse button.
Result: Brings up the "Channel Options" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
Expected result: Start a drag operation on the channel.
Click on a layer in the layers panel to select it.
Move the mouse pointer to a different layer.
Hold down the shift key and click to select multiple layers.
Quickly release the shift key and press the mouse button.
Result: Brings up the "Layer Style" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
Expected result: Begin a drag operation.
Bonus extra nitpick: The window opened on mouse-down, not on mouse-up.
Interestingly the layers panel does the correct thing when control is pressed between clicks, but the channels panel does not.
The options windows opening on mouse-down instead of mouse-up has never bothered me, but I believe it goes against convention.
Thanks.Very detailed report, Jay. I was able to see exactly what you're talking about, and reproduce this using my trackpad. I'm wondering if this is an OS issue, or something that can be tweaked in Photoshop. Even with files in Finder, you can activate a double-click even with a slight hesitation, which is similar to the behavior in Photoshop.
