I promised to not push this anymore but I'll still post some pictures as I think that same behavior suits for every file type.
In short scenario is (List Type = Thumbnails):
I have hovered mouse over to some item (movie, song, whatever) which triggers displaying menu concerning that item.
"menu" shows right click>>menu, "tag" shows right click>>tag, so "play" is right click>>play...Right?.....Except it isn't but it means double click. which doesn't necessary even mean play if so said in double click behavior setting.
So for me the mapping is off. And I can always double click on image to execute double click behavior so it doesn't make double clicking go away. EDIT:
also noticed that it doesn't follow double click setting if it is set to open tag window but the yet again add everything to playing now so it is some kind of hybridIf List Type = Album Thumbnails which is used typically for audio files then there is only "play" displayed when mouse is hovered over the album image and that functions logically by playing the content under it. Note that it doesn't play all the albums in the view but just that one the mouse was hovered over. Same also applies for every other file types if view is grouped. So album thumbnails works like my intuition tells me

"For audio files playing all makes sense to me since you'll otherwise get a playlist of a single song. Why wouldn't you want the whole album?"See the audio picture with list type=thumbnails. By pressing that play wouldn't it be more logical that it plays just that hovered over song and not all the songs in the view. Remember that this view can show e.g. your whole library not just this album and also the double click will still work like it is set
Now I'm done with my arguments I think
