[Qgis-user] UI - Double clicking a layer to add it

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
  I've noted some inconsistency in what happens when you double click a
layer in an effort to add it to QGIS.

One of several possible things happens:
Add Vector Layer:
 - Double clicking a file closes the "Open an OGR supported Vector Layer"
dialog but keeps open the "Add vector layer" dialog.

Add Raster Layer:
 - Double clicking a raster closes the dialog and adds the file immediately
to QGIS.

Add Oracle / SpatiaLite tables (maybe the other databases too?)
 - Double clicking a table brings up a "Query Builder" for that table.

Add WMS and Add WCS
 - Double clicking does nothing.

Add WFS
 - Opens up "Expression string builder" dialog

To me at least this is very wrong. They should all behave in the exact same
way when I double click something. Personally I'd say the raster way is the
correct one - that's how all other applications work when I double click
something to add, be it a GIS or a text editor or anything.

I appreciate why opening query/expression builders may be useful, but I
don't think it should be the default action on double-clicking.


Does anyone else have an opinion on this?


Cheers,
Jonathan
