Using single click in Peppermint Two
« on: March 07, 2012, 03:34:45 pm »
Ok, I've looked and looked and for the life of me I cannot find where the setting for one click or tap opening. Any suggestions welcome.  :)

Go to Menu>File Manager .. when the file manager opens, go to Edit>Preferences .. then on the "General" tab,  put a tick in "Open files with a single click" .. and click "Close".

Done :)

.............. .and while we are talking about Peppermint.... ...

I have set the screen lock to come in at 2 min's but it wont.  Ubuntu 10.04 had a password screen that worked with the screen saver.  Peppermint does not seem to have it ( I think).

Any clues?

I don't know if it's possible to get the screen to lock as the screensaver comes on, but I'll see what I can find.

Meanwhile, if you need to lock your screen .. there is a menu item at Menu>System Tools>ScreenLock .. you could always add that to the desktop for easier access.

OK, I won't bother trying to get it to work with the screensaver then .. let me know if you'd like me to try.

[EDIT]

You could have it as a button on your panel instead of on the desktop if you'd prefer (next to the shutdown button by the clock, or *instead* of the shutdown button)?
