Description Adam Sotona 2007-06-25 10:39:34 UTC

Double-click expands correctly subfolders until the subfolder is a project - then it opens the project instead of
further expanding.
The behavior is very annoying and very different from all the other choosers and from the previous behavior. I have to
carefully hit the "+" icon for all project-marked folder.

Comment 1 David Simonek 2007-06-27 09:45:57 UTC

Agreed, but we have to choose what double-click will mean on project folder - whether opening the project or diving into
subdirectory.

HIE thought (and me too, surprise :-) that opening a project is more frequently used then diving into subproject.
Netbeans developers are paying for this, as we have structured subprojects, but majority of end users will be happy with
double click open, IMHO.
