PcmanFM and single-click delay

Howdy-ha, folks. Does anyone know of a way to change the delay of (or do away with) automatic item selection on mouse hover in PcmanFM while using single-click mode? I love this filemanager, and love using single-click, but it's irritating to have an entire selection range deselected because I can't hit a hotkey combo quickly enough. Judging by the config file in ~/.config/pcmanfm, I'd guess not? Or is there perhaps a third-party solution/work-around?

I suppose Thunar could be considered a work-around, although I prefer PcmanFm. Maybe I'll screw around with the source for it later today... I know about as much about C as I do about the history of 19th-Century Appalachian quilting (I just arbitrarily assume it's written in C, which tells you what my qualifications for coding are), but I have an idea of where to start looking anyway.

In System Preferences > Trackpad > your preferences should look like this screenshot. If they don't then some 3rd party driver is conflicting. The most common conflict is USBoverdrive.

[Solved] Gwenview 5 lost icons and single click

Hi,
I don't use KDE but I do use Gwenview. Since upgrading to 5 Gwenview has lost some icons (outlined in red below), and I now have to double click on directories and images to open them instead of single click. Is it possible to fix these issues without installing a full KDE desktop?
Thanks, Jamie

How to separate double click action and single click action

in my mouse action listerner for JTable.
i do two actions, when user doule click column header, sort the column,
when single clicked, select all cells in this column.
but when user double clicked, the action attached with single click also triggered.(column sorted but also selected)
how to separate them.

Ok, so despite my earlier suggestion being basically the only solution offered anyway on the web it appears that Lokust is correct and that the single click operation would be performed as well as the double click one. to get round this u have to implement a Timer, i'm not going to post my whole code here because most of it is irrelevent, just add this code in the correct places and it should work fine. apologies to all format junkies for not using code tags!
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimeTask;
public class WhateverClassName implements MouseListener {
private Timer t;
private boolean doubleclick;
myTable.addMouseListener(this);
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
     t = new Timer();
     if (e.getClickCount() == 2){
          doubleclick = true;
     else if(e.getClickCount()==1){
          t.schedule(new MyTimerTask(),500);
/*You need all these methods as well */
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseExited(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseReleased(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask{
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.util.TimerTask#run()
     public void run() {
          if(doubleclick){
               System.out.print("double click");
          else{
               System.out.println("single click");
          t.cancel();
This assumes that for it to be considered a double click user has to click twice within .5 seconds.
Let me know if that works or not, sorry its a bit messy!

Single click folder name to expand folder in folder view?

As with prior versions, in [Windows] Explorer's main window, you can enable hovering to select and single clicking to expand the folder (but that is a pain in the rear when working with files). Windows XP folder view nicely allowed single clicking the folder name to expand the folder. Was that removed from Windows 7? Looks like the only way to expand a folder in folder view is to either click on the small plus sign or to double click on the folder name. Or is there a switch somewhere I am missing? Thanks.

"...Things are worse than that now... When you single click on a folder name in the folder list, the folder contents show in the right hand file window, as usual. But, when you use an arrow key to move to a folder name in the folder list, the folder
contents no longer show in the right hand file window...."
The option seems to be disabled. It is in Explorer>tools>folder options>navigation pane>"automatically expand to current folder" (win7 v6.1
Excluding this extremely useful feature really cripples Win7Explorer. I was spoiled by w9x and XP explorers. I am new to MS forums. Is there a moderated microsoft forum where this question can be posted, in the hope that a patch is produced?
I asked this in 2007 and I was answered <<WE DON'T GIVE A SH*T OF WHAT YOU WANT>>

On all my other apps and browsers, I have my system set up to open things with a doubleclick. In Firefox, however, a single click opens things, and it's very annoying since I wind up with duplicate pages -- where can I change this option to double-click?

I think my question explains my issue, but I particularly have this issue on www.pogo.com when I try to open a game room. The system tells me someone else with my user name is trying to enter the room at the same time, so it boots us both out. I have contacted Pogo, and they tell me it's a Firefox issue. There must be an option somewhere, like a OS has, to pick between single and double clicks to open an app, but I can't find it in Firefox. My mouse is set in XP for double-click.

Magic Mouse single click double clicks and drops dragged images

Last few weeks my Magic Mouse has started behaving strangely. When selecting something with a single click the mouse seems to double click and open the item instead of just selecting it. Very frustrating. When dragging anything across the screen it always drops the item halfway there.
What is going on? Software? Hardware? I have no 3rd party software installed and have tried various double click speeds with the same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

A lot of people have encountered this, Tom, myself included (see discussion here for instance: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11547453&#11547453).
It appears to be a bug in the OS. Annoying, but until Apple fix the problem, it's something we're unfortunately going to have to live with. Sorry I can't help you further.

Why am I sometimes sending duplicate emails and why when I sometimes single click an incoming messages to view it in the viewer window why does it open?

My computer got very touchy a few days ago as in the finder or in mail I would single click to select an item and it would open (rather than alloiwng me to just select it) or I would command select to select several items and they would open before I finished.
I did a complete reinstall and finder part of the problem is gone, but it still exists in Mail. Also before the reinstall just about every email I sent would duplicate-- not it only happens occaisionally.
Anyone got any ideas-- thank you

Hi, ybg, and welcome to the Community,
Your detailed report (thank you) indicates to me your account has been compromised a second time. Change your Skype account password immediately if you have not already done so, as well as that of any saved payment method on file. I would also run a maintenance cycle on your computer/laptop, ensuring all patches and updates are installed. Also run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware suite using the most recent virus signature files available.
You are right to contact Skype Customer Service to report this incident. I have read that people experience problems reaching them, however please do continue to do so, choosing a different path through the various steps than you used the first time; try also using a different web browser. I have also read that the instant message chat sessions with Customer Service agents appear as a pop-up dialogue box, which needs to be enabled or the connection to the agent will not process.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As a general proactive precaution, I would recommend reviewing how you access the internet, particularly seeking any vulnerabilities or patterns common to the first incident and this one.
Regards,
Elaine

There was away (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email and it would highlite but not open. I could either delete or second click and the email would then open. Can anyone tell me how to configure the prevue pane to that end with Mavericks?

There was a way (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email in the "prevue pane" and it would highlite but not open. I could then either delete it or click again and it would open. With Mavericks that doesn't seem to be available making it impossible to delete an email in the prevue pane before I open it. Its frustrating to have to go through all the monkey motions when I know I want to delete it from the get-go. Does anyone know who to configure for that operation? I'm using an iMac.

Wow, have you ever seen 1 Billion in hard cash? If not, I assure you it exists as well.
Try not to pick apart what others write because you "have not seen it."
I run TWO programs for protection of my MAC now and have been for sometime b/c developers of them become complacid thinking MAC is impermeable.
My MAC locked me out of it and two externals and when I finally did get back into them Norton Anti-Virus found a "worm." When I asked the program to find the origin, it was traced back to an email, as you said, that I opened unintentionally. I still have two external HDs for backup and a cloud backup now.
When ClamX ran after Norton was finished, ClamX found what it called as "spyware," and it's origin was in my email also. I tried to delete the emails after the programs (both) identified the infected files, however once deleted and the computer is restarted, they were still there because I ran the scans again.
Now since we are no longer talking about how to turn on and off the view pane in apple mail; riddle me this, why can't the developers of these antivirus and antispyware/malware programs get together and develop ONE PRODUCT that catches 90-95% of the viruses/worms/spyware/malware ect that get onto MAC's? Is it because they are too busy thinking they don't exist?
I still run both programs and feel protected between the two. If Norton said it was a "worm" then I believe it was a worm and if ClamX called it "spyware" then I believe it is spyware.
I had to wipe my MAC and do a fresh install to get it working again, then I had to open one of those externals (which was very, very difficult) multiple times until finally it displayed the message "you can view, but not change the data." I exported as much as I could to my cloud and I had to format both of those too.
I still run both programs as I feel protected between the two. If Norton tells me it is a "worm" then I believe it is a "worm;" if ClamX tells me it is "spyware" then I believe it is "spyware." If it happens again, which my hope is that it won't, I will be more than happy to send the infected files to you!!
Try not to "forum rage." Support forums to post experiences and find answers, not nit-pick or claim not existance b/c you have not experienced it for yourself.

How to handle both single click and double click from mouse

hey,
I looked in past threads and didn't get a proper answer for capturing both single and double click from the mouse.
in most applications the single click action does not interfere with the double click action, for example in a text editor, single click sets the cursor in between the text, double click marks a word, triple click marks a sentence, they do not bother each other, they all can happen first the single then the double and then the triple, but what if i have a very distinct action for each of the actions, the e.getClickCount() returns every time the number of clicks and if i use
if(e.getClickCount()==1)
    doSingleClick();
if(e.getClickCount()==2)
    doDoubleClick();it will always do first the single click and then the double click, which works fine with the example i gave, but not with what i want to do, so i was thinking to over come this that i will use another thread to run my tasks if dt has past since the last click and by the last click counts to perform the correct action and go to sleep until the next mouse click notify it, what do you think?
run this to get what i mean...
package blah;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MouseClickTest {
     static long previousTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
     public static void main(String[] args) {

          component.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){
                    if(me.getClickCount()==1)
                         System.out.println("Now I will do single click action");
                    if(me.getClickCount()==2)
                         System.out.println("Now I will do DOUBLE click action");
//                    System.out.println("Click count: " + me.getClickCount());
          panel.add(component);
          Launcher.launch(panel);

               contents.setBackground (backgroundColor);
          } else {

The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

How to detect only single click and not double-click mouse events in Swing?

Hi,
In my application, I want to implement a functionality only for single click. But problem is on double click, first i can see a single click and then double click.
i.e e.getCount() return 1 and then 2 for double click. I want to avoid this situation.
Shouldn't it be just one event with a clickCount of 2? or any alternative solution?
Please let me know how can i stop this.
Thanks in advance..
Cheers

Single-click registers as double-click, trackpad AND mouse

I did a search here and elsewhere on this and it seems to be a fairly common issue among G4 PowerBook users. These are the threads I found here on the subject just doing a quick search...

I have the same problem and it's really starting to annoy me since I started using this computer more frequently recently. I've owned it since new. It has done this off and on since I bought it. I only used it for travel so I just put up with it but now I'm using it for all E-mail to free up my primary desktop for other needs and this is starting to drive me crazy. The machine originally had Panther on it and when I migrated to Tiger I thought that might fix it. No such luck.
The problem is that quite often when I single-click on something, whether in the Finder or an Application, it registers as a double-click. It doesn't matter if I use the trackpad or a mouse, same problem.
I've tried different "Keyboard and Mouse" settings in System Prefs and nothing makes any difference. I've tried the PMU reset too. No change. I've tried it with the mouse disconnected and I've tried it with two different mice. No improvement. I've even tried it with green eggs and ham but the problem persists!
I've never had this issue with ANY other Mac I currently own (3 others) or have owned in the past (many since 1985). My only speculation is that MAYBE the humidity/static in my environment has something to do with it. I've never noticed an exact correlation but it SEEMS that perhaps I may be having this problem more often when the climate is dry. Possible?
Has anyone found a definitive cause/solution for this issue? Thanks!
Mike

Glad that worked for you Sup3rL4m3r but I suspect we have different issues. I have no problems with anything except single-clicks and click-drags registering as double clicks with either the trackpad or mouse. I have no issues with my "wallpaper" or with erratic cursor issues, or with anything else. When I upgraded to Tiger as indicated in the original post, I did an archive and install but it did nothing to mitigate the problem.
This seems to possibly be a somewhat common problem based on previous posts I've read on it but I suspect that the lack of any solutions suggests it is a design flaw of some sort that has no solution. Perhaps it is not prolific enough to get any attention. Darned shame since this machine has otherwise been flawless. Kind of like buying a new car that has a hesitation on acceleration that you can't get rid of. Most annoying.

Programming button for single and double click

I know how to programme a button to play a certain movie segment. However, in my current project I need to be able to programme a button in the menu so that
1. on rollover - nothing
2. on single mouse click - button colour changes + a parapraph of text appears on the menu screen in a predefined space
3. on double click - a movie clip plays
It might be a simple qiestion but I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Do not change the highligh and it will look like nothing is happening (make sure auto activate is not beign used)
2. on single mouse click - button colour changes + a parapraph of text appears on the menu screen in a predefined space
3. on double click - a movie clip plays
It might be a simple qiestion but I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Single and Double clicks cannot be done like that. (Some players using layered menus do require a click to get things seen but not really what you are speaking about.)
Flash or Director may be better for this?
