I always thought a double click was sensible. Here's why. A single
click selects an item, this is useful for selecting multiple items,
dragging and dropping doing all sorts of cool stuff like preview
pictures. Single click opens can get in the way of that, not to
mention stray clicks between windows and other slipups. A double click
is intentional, and is hard to mistakingly double click on an item.
seems that would be a good reason to keep it as default.
