Having this in the "double-click" mode breaks the "Items are only selected with a \
single-click". It would have to be some kind of slower double click to not introduce \
a bunch of unwanted file renames. I find the in-line-rename found in Windows totally \
annoying. Selecting a file that happened to be selected already starts rename. What \
is wrong with explicitly pressing F2 or right-clicking the file?

And I have a bit hard time to understand how it could work in single-click mode when \
the file should be opened not renamed on single-click.

I don&#39;t think that we should add another option for this, because it makes the \
settings dialog more complex, it increases the number of possible configs to test, it \
only makes sense when single click + inline renaming is enabled.

What if we always enable it when the options &#39;single click&#39; and &#39;inline \
renaming&#39; are enabled?

Please add the usability group to this discussion :)</pre>
