Re: How to Enable Double Click Mouse Behavior in Thunar

Forgive me, nolatux, but why are you telling us this? Is it something that people have difficulty doing?

Also, the title is confusing; it should read "...in Thunar" or whichever file manager you're referring to.

Well - it is one of the first things I change. And I can easy imagine a newcomer to thunar being annoyed by this. Maybe it shouldn't be in the forum, but for the wiki this information could be nice. I guess nolatux had a eureka moment and wanted to share. And that is basically pure penguinlove :-D

Re: How to Enable Double Click Mouse Behavior in Thunar

It took me almost an hour of Googling and going into the different settings areas in order to figure this out and hopefully, these instructions will be of benefit to someone (like myself) who is new to Crunchbang (and especially new to using Openbox).

Edit: The original title stated the instructions were for Statler, and not a specific file manager because Thunar is the default file manager for both Xfce and Openbox editions of the Statler release.

You should change the title to say Thunar instead of Openbox.

Edit: nvm, I changed it myself.

I guess that's the downside of being a linux user... you're not going to look in the most obvious places for such an option.
