[REQ] Overwrite dialog: Dblclick on thumb runs assoc. app.

It would be nice if we could run the associated app from the overwrite dialog not only by using the right-click menu but simply by double-clicking the thumbnail.
TIA

Personally I prefer the lister with plugins here, but this could be a nice alternative.
Support.

What about exe files and other executable content? For me the context menu is just what's needed at the right place.

Accidental executions could be prevented by an INI setting in which the user has to enter all file types which he wants to execute directly:
ThumbnailsExecute=JPG, PNG, TXT, ETC....
All other extensions should provoke a messagebox with a warning.
An alternative which I would prefer:
ThumbnailsDoNotExecute with a default list of blocked extensions. Would be way more comfortable but a little more risky as probably not all executable types would be catched.
I'd really like to see that feature as right-clicking isn't one of my favourite hobbies.
EDIT: This proposal is outdated, new one here:

roentgen,

Well, execute them.
I doubleclicked an exe so I expect it to run.

Sorry, I can't confirm this problem. If I use TC thumbview and double-click on a PNG, Irfan View starts up, and the same
is valid for a .txt file, in that thumbview, associated with my ascii-editor.

Hm, I think you are referring to the regular thumbs view in the file panel, where a doubleclick works as in all other views.
Hacker was talking about the overwrite dialog, where a doubleclick currently is ignored.

This would also be my choice. Here executables (and maybe some script-enabled file formats) could be noted to be protected and let the rest get started.
While this option is more for beginners, I think. So maybe a warning after double-clicking on those formats is more appropriate here than to not execute them?
Attention ! Viruses ! lol

Hello Roman !
« For security reasons, I'm a bit hesitant to support such a feature…» 
• Well, seriously: I guess that it might be added, but either with the
icfu's prefered improvement,
or with the
StatusQuo's warning, or even with a choice between the two…

Ok, here is a modified proposal with two keys, which should make all users happy I guess:
Code: Select all
ThumbsExecuteConfirmation=EXE,COM,CMD,ETC...
ThumbsExecute=0/1/2
0 disables doubleclick feature completely
1 enables doubleclicking but ALWAYS asks for confirmation (extra foolproof, default)
2 asks for confirmation ONLY for extensions in ThumbsExecuteConfirmation
