Title: Double click in filmstrip
Post by: Wayne Fox on September 15, 2017, 03:24:28 pm
Is it just me, or do others find themselves double clicking an image in the film strip in order to open it into photoshop? Seems sort of instinctive ...

Not to me.....   are you thinking it should be that way in "Develop" or "Library"?

Not to me either. I so rarely need to use Ps for anything these days that the normal right-click on an image and select 'Edit in' command works fine.

Not me. It behaves just as I expect and want.

Currently double clicking does nothing.  While there certainly are those who don't use Photoshop, there are a lot of us who do.

Taking advantage of the simple and standard interface of double clicking on a thumbnail seems a useful tool. I go back and forth to Ps a lot, and going through the process of right clicking and selecting a menu, while not difficult would be simplified with a easy double click.

I'm not sure if there are other functions that could take advantage of a double click, but I know I find many people in classes I teach are surprised they can't just double click to get to photoshop from the flimstrip.  Certainly those that don't need it don't have to use it.

I find myself double clicking a couple of times a week. Just habit of "opening" a document. 

No big deal, just curious

Wayne, on my system under Windows 10, double-right clicking in either the thumbnail or the grid display, shows the image in single view. I can get the same effect by selecting the image and pressing "e".

I have no idea what would happen in a Mac system.

I would not like it to open photoshop. I would end up accidentally doing it and having to wait for photoshop to open so I could close it. But it would be nice if it was an option for those who would like it.
