Double click to open file is driving me nuts

[charlya]

In PSE6 I absolutely hate that you have to double click on an image in your project bin to make it display. Any way around this? I've looked in Preferences and don't see anything. It's killing me!!!! I may go back to PSE5 because of it and the whole crop freezing and having to click on preset and done to make it available again. My right hand needs help. It is in a permanent cramp from double clicking!

Thanks!

Can't say I have a problem with double clicking - guess I'm used to it as the usual way to open things or maybe I have a well adjusted mouse :). But you can just drag from the photo bin to the area around (but not on) the currently open image. Particularly useful if you have a pen and tablet.

I agree with you Charlya. That is one thing I've really had a hard time adjusting to. In PSE5 and prior versions, just one click on the thumbnail in the project/photo bin sends it to the workspace.

I have even found myself, working quickly as I do sometimes, clicking once on a thumbnail, then thinking I have a certain image active in the workspace, pressing Ctrl-W, my shortcut for closing the file, then clicking No to saving it, and then losing work because I had the wrong image active. After a couple of those time-costing mistakes, I started to be more careful.
