This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

    Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?

      no, because it only applies to executables.

      idk about you, but I only run executables from dolphin once every full moon, or so. And even if it was frequently, it doesn’t come close to the number of folders I open that only need a single click.

        I guess it depends on habits, then. I use them all the time. Not as much as folders, but enough that I would rather the 2 have the same behavior.
