Spanky Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I think single click would be better, there's just no reason for an extra click. I've had windows set to single click on files for years, just like clicking web links. I can't imagine how many clicks this must have saved me over the years.

bobholm Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I voted for one click. Not just because most of my tray icons require only one click, but because the taskbar requires only one click to bring an open window to focus on top. I think everything in the whole bar (taskbar and notification tray) should work the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajojo88 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Please, keep the tray icon action that way it is, it is far more useful to use a doubleclick. Singleclicks lead to errors and there is no reason to change what is already right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paritybit Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 How do single clicks lead to errors?People who are used to double clicking and like double clicking end up bringing up 2 windows which is a real pain. I suppose that is an error. Or the window will just maximise then minimise. This isn't just a windows thing, many of the other systems I have used use a double click method.Astral Monkey was being sarcastic, paritybit. B.t.w., single-click is winning... ah serves me right for posting while tired. I really should rest before trying to tackle these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 It could be easily programmed to treat double clicks as a single click, so I don't see where that's a problem.For example, whether I single click or double click on my FlashGet icon, it brings up the window. It doesn't open and then close it.I use another program called TrayIt, which adds systray functionality to programs which don't offer that option. Same thing, either single click or double click brings up the program in question. No opening and closing.I don't even see where it needs to be an option. Just have it respond to either, as many other programs do. IMO, the only time to use double click to restore a program is when a single click is assigned another task.

peterpaulw Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Double-Click is the standard for Windows UI design guidelines, as far as i know. If it is standard, why doesn't Windows XP stick to those 'design guidelines'? Let's see (all built-in XP apps):+ Clock: double-click+ Volume: single-click (Mixer: double-click)+ Local Area Connection Status: single-click+ Task Manager: double-click(+ Quick Launch: single-click)My vote is for single-click to bring up the window (and to treat double-click as single-click). Makes more sense for utorrent, as there is no function assigned to single click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I voted Double clik.. lol but i c its ok as it is.. Single or double doesnt matter, either way clikin it & gettin the main window is cool enough :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Double-click is the standard way of doing this, so µTorrent should stick to it.Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 There may just be a tiny checkbox in the options: "Show/hide main window by single tray icon click" or somerhing like this. And nobody will be hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you simply a user, just like the rest of us? :? If so, it's time for you to calm down and start asking things/stating your opinion nicely from now on.

Grnch Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 There are much, MUCH more important things to addfix in uTorrent before resorting to silly little things like the color of the bars and single or double clicks.Agreed, but this little feature is trivial to change, only a single line of code: just change the check for the event from DBLCLICK to CLICK (or whatever the actual constants are).There are other more important features, but they also require more effort, it's not like this change would take away any significant fraction of time from the other work.I also like what someone else suggested, make it come up on BOTH single-click and double-click, that should also be almost a single line change.

paritybit Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Either way most people have said "you can just have an option to turn it on or off in the options menu".This isn't the answer to everything. uTorrent will get to the point where the binary is about 5meg because of the thousands of options that will be in the menu. Color select, double or single click from tray, flash on focus, hell, just because you want something doesn't mean it is alright just to make it an option. Sure this satisfys the most people but to quote Bob Dylan: "If I can't please everybody I might as well not please nobody at all. (there's but so many people an I just can't please them all)."
