My Open/Save dialogs are single click!

I don't have the technical knowledge of that, sorry!

I do not think that it makes usability worse as the actions on the Open Notebook dialog fall into two categories:
1) Opening a Notebook
2) Changing configuration (editing, adding, deleted, changing default)

Which of those two is the more common action? The dialog should be easiest for the more common action, which in my opinion is the opening of notebooks.

That is what I am doing. It feels redundant. No other applications that I use require me to confirm my actions when I do standard actions (such as opening a notebook). I do realize that this was not designed as a confirmation step, but in practice that is what it feels like. Let me click the notebook and be done with it.
