Configure Nautilus to open folders and documents with one click

English Applications

Hi All,

There used to be a ‘configure’ option in Nautilus, if I remember right. But I am experiencing that folders open only with double-click.

Is there a way to configure Nautilus to open folders and files with one click instead of double click?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi
Sure, open Nautilus, the in the top bar files -> preferences -> Behavior tab, select the single click to open files radio button, or from the command line (or dconf-editor);


gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences click-policy 'single'

Thanks a lot. The code did work !

The size setting slider does not stay at minimum size. On next opening of home folder it jumps back to the middle. Is there a remedy to that as well?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi
You mean icon size?


gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view default-zoom-level 'small'

Yes. Miracle !!

Where could one find this magic?

Hi
The dconf-editor application or gsettings --help :wink:
