My take on the classic Macintosh app Stapler (with a little bit of LaunchList)

Double-clicking a list item should launch it #4

Closed runxel closed 1 month ago

First off: Nice app!

I think it is unintuitive that a double click does nothing to a document. It should open the corresponding file / app.

To edit a document you can hold down the Cmd key as you open it by double-clicking. https://github.com/gingerbeardman/stapler#launching-a-list

By design, double-clicking a document will launch all items in it. (It does that by opening the app - if required - then opening the document, then launching all the items, then closing the document - and finally closing the app, but only if the app wasn't already open).

I understand this is perhaps odd behaviour and a contentious issue, but the zero-click launch of all items is a key feature of the app.

I'll give it some thought.

For most documents having quicklook should already covers the use case. What I meant was: While editing a stapler doc double-clicking in the list should open just that doc. But I agree that this is not really the main thing of stapler. (:

Oh, right! I misunderstood.

Yes, I agree.

I'll make the change soon :)
