Re:Making the dislike count private across YouTube by donmcronald on Thursday November 11, 2021 @06:29PM (#29194599)
Do you double click actual (hyper)links to navigate or folders? Because in the context of a file manager I think single click to select and double click to navigate is the only sane approach. How do you multi-select with something like a shift-click if single clicks navigate you away from the current page.

Single click to navigate in a file manager is what got us those laughably inefficient interfaces where you have check boxes beside every item and no reasonable way to multi-select.

Maybe those 6 people immediately double clicked because it's the only non-stupid way of doing it?

are you familiar with google drive?

confusingly enough, in the google docs "browser", which is some limited interface to some subset of google drive, a single click is all that's needed to open a doc. but in google drive, opening the same doc takes two clicks.

fwiw, I have absolutely no problem multi-selecting in google photos; another google-joint with single-click to open/interact/etc.

as I said, only two people immediately double clicked.
