Love the project, and it is my preferred dms for home use.

But I have one small request: I have not tried 1.5, but I think double click still is the way to open folders and documents. That makes it impossible (or at least a great hassle) to use touch screens. To be fair I have only tried Android browsers, but with no luck. A menu option to open selected document would be nice. Single click opening even better, but that is more a design choice I guess.

and this one

Single click to open would go hand in hand with adding a right click menu which would also help on touch screens (long press). Currently you have to single click to select one or more documents/folders and then choose an action from the toolbar above. It's a little tedious in its current form especially having to cut and paste documents rather than just "move to..." and choose a folder.

If a right click menu with those actions were added it would work the same as most other modern file storage solutions (e.g. onedrive/sharepoint/google drive). I think I saw this on the feature request list already so hopefully it gets attention.
