How to set mouse actions for a KDE application in [x]ubuntu (i.e. gnome)?
I use xubuntu 10.10 on my desktop computer but run a couple of KDE4 applications, one in particular being digikam. I want to get a single click to open images in digikam but no matter what I've tried it stays determinedly double click. In particular I have tried putting:- [KDE] SingleClick=true into ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals, but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to get single click opening back into digikam (I'm sure it used to work once). -- Chris Green

A single click from what application? -- Brett Parker

(This question asked because you say "xubuntu", which suggests that you're using the Thunar file manager, which you can configure as per the destructions at: http://thunar.xfce.org/documentation/C/preferences.html#preferences-behavior ) -- Brett Parker

Yes, that gives single-click in Thunar (analagous with the same settings in Nautilus if you're using gnome/ubuntu) but no effect at all on a KDE application running in xubuntu. As I said it did used to work but I suspect that the change from KDE3 to KDE4 stopped it somehow. -- Chris Green

Er, digikam, as I said twice. ... single click to open images in digikam ... ... get single click opening back into digikam ... -- Chris Green

Now googled and found your posts elsewhere that are slightly more explicit. Fire up kcontrol, and configure under mouse properties. Done. -- Brett Parker

There is no kcontrol any more, I think it went with KDE3. I have the KDE4 "System Settings" application installed but it doesn't have any mouse settings in it. I have done most of the 'obvious' things! :-) As I said elsewhere I have also put the following into ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals :- [KDE] SingleClick=true but nothing seems to have any effect. -- Chris Green

'systemsettings' program. Input Devices section, mouse item. I suspect this will not be a KDE global option. KDE probably shouldn't mandate how a custom widget in digikam reacts to mouse events. -Srdjan

Trouble is my systemsettings doesn't have/show an Input Devices section, this is where I had got to when I asked the question here. Either the systemsettings in Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have that section or for some reason it doesn't show up when you run systemsettings under a gnome[ish] desktop. I have asked on the digikam mailing list but no one there seems to have a solution either. -- Chris Green

This is ambiguous and may require further information. Do you mean that: a) in some application (which you have not specified, possibly your file manager), you want to be able to single click icons representing image files and have those files open in digikam?; or that b) in digikam itself there are icons representing images on which you would like to be able to single click? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li http://www.richardlewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Sorry if it was ambiguous - I want b) above. -- Chris Green
