This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

      No, there are those big plus signs appearing on the top-right corner of the icon, if you click there it selects instead of opening. I guess it’s a matter of habit, I can’t get used to it

        Or you drag over the files. Or press something like Strg or Shift while clicking. I mean you have to do that anyways, even with double-click per default or you’d lose focus on the first file. And it’s rarely the case that you just want to focus a single file.
