Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:27:25 EDT 
There is no function assigned to double click for closed projects in the Navigator view. It would be nice if the user can
open closed projects by double clicking them.

Depending on the plug-ins that you are running, and the size of the dataset, opening a project can be an expensive operation -- I know of one case where it could take >2 minutes -- and have multiple side-effects. It is better to require an explicit operation (pop menu; select open project) for things like this, than to bind it to double-click, which is easy to generate accidentally.
Comment 10 Daniel Serodio CLA 2006-05-25 09:58:59 EDT 
If you're concerned about this change, can we make this behaviour an option? I'd also like to be able to open a closed project by double-clicking it.
