I agree with this; but also, I've been wondering for quite a long time if it
would be possible for the context menus for file icons to have a simple
"Open" item. The item would do exactly the same thing as when you
double-click on the icon.
Reason? Mainly that in my case at least, I oftentimes right click on a file,
since I'm in the habit of doing so, but then I realize "oh, I just wanted to
open it the default way, not to choose some other app or action." It just
seems a little awkward to have to double click again after that, when I
could just select "Open" from the menu I opened up. Also, it seems
asymmetrical having "Open with" items listed in the menu, but no default
"Open."
I hope I'm not whining too much :)
