I'm sort of a new user, but I surely second Matt's expressed view. It's
how I conceptualize it too.
(My two cents.)

I think the logic Matt B described would make a lot of sense to experienced
users, but it is changing behavior of the action and that *could* confuse
new users.
But as Lee brought up it is already being used differently, so it very well
could be appreciated as learned behavior.
It would be nice to expose common actions (like configure) on the faces of
components so they are only a single click away. However, it would be tough
to add more to them given current layouts.

Certainly not the first time this has been brought up... in fact, there's
already a JIRA for it [1]. Use of double click on the connection is a great
counter point for consistency between the components.

Don't forget about connection behavior.
Double-click on a connection places a movable vertex on the connection.
Double-click on a vertex deletes it.
Very intuitive once you realize it's there.

I like this, Matt. It has often find myself double clicking to try to
configure, or view configuration. It just seems natural.

+1 for avoiding confusion or changing existing behavior, but I
think a
good compromise is to leave the Configure option on both context
menus
(right-click, e.g.) and add the double-click behavior to the
Processor
to open the configuration dialog. In that case, the default
(double-click) option for both Processors and Process Groups is no
longer "nothing" and "Enter Group" respectively; rather it is
conceptually something like "Drill-down". For PGs drill-down is
Enter
Group, for Processors you can't drill down any further than the
config
dialog, so that becomes the default action for double-click.
Thoughts? Thanks,
Matt

Yep, that's a good point and I agree we should avoid confusion with
different behaviors depending of the components.
Thanks Matt!

Pierre,
Currently the double click action is used to enter a Process Group.
There's been discussion in the past on this mailing about possibly
using it
to configure. My only hesitation there would be the inconsistency
between
action on the different components. Unless of course we also switch
the
action for entering a group. Then I start to worry about confusing
the
user
with changing up the existing behavior too much.

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any reason why the double click action
is
not
used in the UI? I think this could be a nice shortcut to access
"Configure/View configuration" view from elements on the canvas.
Thoughts?
