EA 14 - double click on elements in project browser

[q2]

I have just moved from EA 13.5 to 14 and first not nice feature I have found is that double click on element in project browser do not open "Properties Dialog". In fact behavior is difficult to understand. Even more there is no such option in context menu (rmb) - instead I see only different "Properties" dialog. After some investigations I have found that I can open "Properties Dialog" by ALT + ENTER.

Maybe this change is intentional but in all previous versions double click open "Properties Dialog"...

Is it possible to set double click action in project browser to old behavior?

If there is a way to change it so double click opens the properties dialogue I haven't found it yet
The other approach I've found from the project browser is to use the context menu properties>special action
However in a diagram if you double click on the element it opens the properties dialog.
Kind of inconsistent which is never a good user experience.

I've also found out when creating attributes on elements the new features & properties window doesn't have access to notes for the attributes or operations. So you need to enable the notes window. Start|properties|notes

Alternatively if you prefer the old attributes/operations dialog you need to change the visual styles
Start | View | Visual style | Prefer Property Dialogs

Thanks a lot Sunshine for explanations.

Nevertheless in EA 14 build 1423 there is no option Start | View | Visual style | Prefer Property Dialogs (but in help it is!)

Hello,

You can override EA's default double-click functionality in an Add-In, specifically by responding to the context item events.
There is some confusion in the naming of these operations (they aren't triggered for double-clicks alone), so you need to play around with them a bit to see exactly how they work.

HTH,

Your right its in build 1425 aka V14.1 beta

Hi, I'm not sure the add-in will be the solution. My add-in is not reacting on the doubleclick on the element/package in ProjectBrowser in EA14, but in EA12/EA13 it does.
