[solved]I cannot prevent opening a file with one click

lian00 · Post by **lian00** » 12 Apr 2026 14:18

Hello, since the two last beta versions (28.30.0104), I meet a strange problem:
in thumbnails view, if I click on a thumbnail, the file is opened. I never had a behavior. I don’t meet the problem in list view. It’s like the thumbnail is considered as icon relatively to my settings.
It’s the same if I deactivate Point to select

Try to tick Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails and Icons | On left mouse down

OK, I did not remember I changed this, but I’m quite surprised to see this result. There is no other way to prevent the file to open ?

It's the other way round: You enabled one-click-open, and MDBU has to overwrite it else it would not function. The real question is: why do you enable one-click-open but aren't happy when it happens?

Because I like the behavior in list mode

Very handy. I thought it would work the same in thumbnails mode : click on the icon to open it. So the icon is the entire thumbnail…

Okay, I see. However, some files, e.g. text files, don't show an icon in thumbnails view, even if "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail" is checked. So, there would be at least two changes to be made, otherwise those file could not be opened with a single click.

I rethought and rewrote the whole thing. Should be fixed in next beta.

I updated today but the hover/select/open on icon only won’t work in thumbnail view - don’t know if it’s intended.

Cool, I like it. There is still a little glitch for "icon only" behavior in thumbnail mode : select only when hovering only icon doesn’t work (the file is selected when hovering the thumbnail).

Yep. Fixed in next beta.

With the last version, the blow up is contained in XYplorer window - see capture - when quick click on the icon in thumbnail view.

OK. I have to stop to change settings when something is going wrong
