GUI behaviour changed?

[Volker Gaibler]

Hi,

I just noticed that the GUI behaviour is different from the one before,
as I just updated Debian Sid: referencer 1.0.4-2 -> 1.1.1-1

Now, clicking on any item in the list view lets me change the specific
entry (key, title, ...). Clicking on the Key entry, adds an extra field
"key" with the respective name, but the key itself is not changed.
Also, I really liked the old behaviour of double clicking to open
linked files.

Can anyone confirm this "bug" - or is it intended behaviour?
Is this a bug on my system or also for others or is this intended
behaviour? And is there an easy way to change it?

Also, is there a way to sort entries in list view alphabetically by key
or something similar?

Cheers,
Volker

PS: I really like this program - it makes work so much nicer! :-)

That was bug 208184: https://bugs.launchpad.net/referencer/+bug/208184

The original reporter did not seem to care enough to follow up so I let
it slip. I've looked again and fixed it now. Unfortunately it missed
1.1.2 by about 24 hours.

Well, it's either-or. When double clicking opened files, I had people
asking for editable fields. I think this way is a better compromise,
since the right-click menu still provides a fairly handy route for
opening files.

This got broken in 1.1.1, it's fixed in 1.1.2: you can click the title
of a column as you would expect.

You might be able to guess that personally I use the icon view. The
list view was added because it wasn't very much extra work but I'm
starting to think it might be more trouble than it's worth.
