Can't browse folders with touch Screens

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Touching a sub-folder in the list display the popup window, and we can't 
"double touch" them to enter a folder

On mollify 2.0.4

In a desktop browser we had to double click to enter a folder and simple click 
to display infos.

I think i have to provide a mechanism like a button on each files/folder to 
provide options/actions and leave the double click action...
Is this click behaviors could be changed easily and where ?

thanks !

This is a known issue, and I've had this on my 2.1 todo list. It needs also 
some design changes to support smaller screens better.

I think I'll use "long tap" (if possible) for opening right click menu, 
"regular tap" for opening popup, and "double tab" for traversing into the 
folder. But I'll see if these are possible.

Technically events are registered in mainview.js function content starting at 
line 1176, and functionality attached at mainview.js line 834 in 
"that.itemWidget.init"

note: i know it's a different design perspective, but i think for a browser on 
the web we really don't need to copy the desktop explorer/finder behaviors. I 
do like be presented with possible action at the first look... so, like i've 
said on a button/icon at the end of the line ;-)

Of course copying is not the goal, but natural way of using. Different tap 
types I mentioned are used all over mobile apps and web pages, just have to try 
out different alternatives to see what's best.

But for those who want the button, I added new column type "go-into-folder" in 
version 2.0.6, which adds an icon that takes you into the folder. Of course 
this won't help in icon view, but for now...

mollify.App.init({
    "list-view-columns": {
        "name": { width: 250 },
        "go-into-folder": {},
        "size": {},
        "file-modified": { },
        ...
    }}, [ ... ]
);

In 2.1, folder default action is now enter into the folder. The popup is opened 
from the icon.
