Double clicking causes rename on pdfs with view panel

Post by cr8josh »

When I double click a PDF when the view panel is active it goes to the rename interface instead of opening the file. I have to select the file and hit enter to open it. If the view panel is off it opens fine with double clicking.

I'm on the latest Windows 11 and latest xyplorer.

I've found it can happen on other filetypes too, like XLS. Like the preview resolution stops the double click from working correctly.

Thx

I'll look into it later.

In the meantime it might help if you add a small delay here, maybe 200 (ms): Configuration | Preview | Preview | Preview delay

Thanks so much.

It seems intermittent now, today it is not happening. When/if it happens again I will try that fix.

FYI, it has returned, and your solution fixes it for me thank you.

I've never been able to reproduce it, so I'm glad it works for you now with that setting.
