As Axel explained, there is no delay. And personally I find the way Windows
implements it (clicking a second time) a little annoying, because you have
to wait for the double-click time span to expired before you can click a
second time.
Anyway at least for me selecting is certainly not a lot more common than
renaming. I rarely just select files. I use double clicking, drag and drop,
and right clicking -- which all aren't affected by name editing.
The only thing I would change is name editing when doing multiple
selections. I can't really imagine situations when it would be useful (even
then Command-E could still work).
CU, Ingo
