Under what circumstances would I want not to play the video that I just double-clicked on?) There seems to be no way to get double-clicked videos to automatically start playing. (In fact, as of v10, there seem to be no preferences at all any more.)

Sorry not to add much, but this was the primary reason I stopped using the Windows version too. That and the lack of true full-screen (this was a long while ago, I don't know if that have that or not now).

Again, sorry about the off-topic, but I swear by VLC in Windows and haven't had any problems that weren't attributed to poor encoding. The rest of the stuff I completely agree with and definitely applies to Windows, but it doesn't keep me from making it my sole video player.
