Simple, click new and edit the properties to what you want. Now you decide you
want to save the entry in another folder, just select that folder with a single
click and press save. If the edit-area was updated on a single click this would
be impossible, also the current way allows you to copy a menu from one folder to
another. (copy data, click new folder, press save, done! (cut, copy, and paste
capability will be added in the future) )

BTW, in CVS the double click has been removed and replaced with a single
right click.
