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

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

For Postgis and Oracle there are options in the "Settings" --> "Options"
--> "Datasources".

There you can define what double click on a table means.

But yes, it is a bit inconsistent.

I think I got used to it. No major trouble, but would be nice if
behaviour could be unified.
