Description Mathias Brodala 2011-04-09 12:13:51 CEST
I am aware that this is not a regular behavior of GTK applications but from my POV it adds to the convenience factor in this case: entries in the directory menu should be double-clickable which in turn would open the clicked menu.

Currently one always needs to open the submenu of a directory entry to be able to open it. if amount of directories within a directory is huge then you have to travel across the whole desktop in the worst case if you are not using keyboard navigation.

Thus the feature mentioned above could be one way of improving usability here.

"… open the clicked directory" of course.

Tried this but it does not work very consistent, because GtkMenu also uses and steals events, so if the submenu shows you sometimes need to double-click 2 times.
