Opening a .desktop file launches the application it describes, so the
file manager offered no way to look at or change the file itself: the
only way out was a terminal. Reported upstream on 2025-05-11 and still
open.
Add an "Edit desktop entry" action to the context menu, next to the
entry own desktop actions. It opens the file with the default
text/plain handler instead of its application/x-desktop one.

The location bar inherits its type from the tab's current location
(Message::EditLocationEnable), and the view has exactly two branches, next
to the existing "TODO: allow editing other locations": a Location::Network
is edited through with_uri, anything else through with_path. Typing
smb://server/share while standing in a local folder therefore produced
Path("smb://server/share"), which is not a directory, and the navigation
was dropped. The reverse direction was broken the same way: from the
Networks view a local path was passed to with_uri and became a bogus
network location.
EditLocationSubmit now decides by parsing the text instead of by the
location it came from:
* parses as a URL with a scheme other than "file" and has a host
-> Location::Network, using url::Url::as_str(), which also normalizes
away surrounding whitespace.
* fails to parse and the current location is a Network
-> Location::Path, with the text untrimmed, because a directory name
may legitimately end in a space.
* anything else is left as it was, so network:/// and foo:bar keep
behaving exactly as before.
The reliable indicator for "this is a path" is that parsing fails, not
that the host is missing: network:/// and file:///home both parse with
has_host() == false. Verified against url 2.5.8.
An unmounted share cannot be resolved, since Tab::resolve sends network
locations through mounter.dir_info, so resolve() returns None and the
navigation would be dropped again. Navigating there is what triggers the
mount, because Cmd::NetworkScan mounts the location it is asked to scan,
so the typed URI is used as a fallback. That fallback is restricted to
input recognised by the first rule above; applying it to any network
location would let unparseable text through, and because with_uri keeps
the display name and path of the previous location, the window would look
normal while the listing stayed empty.
Known cosmetic side effect: while the share is not mounted, resolve()
yields nothing and the tab shows the raw URI as its name. It is replaced
by the proper name as soon as the mount completes.
Drafted with AI assistance (Claude Code); the change was reviewed, built
and tested by me on real hardware as described.

Right-clicking inside the trash view now shows 'Empty trash' when
the trash is not empty, in addition to the existing per-item
restore/delete actions and sort options.
The segmented_button widget asserts that context_menu children
count matches model length. The yoda fork was building a single
flat menu for the clicked item instead of iterating over all
nav_model items like upstream, causing an assertion panic on
right-click in the sidebar (trash, folders, etc.).
Align with upstream: iterate self.nav_model.iter() and use
menu::nav_context() instead of menu::items().

Keyboard navigation (arrow keys) did not clear item hover state, causing
items to retain their grey hover background after the mouse left the
window, resulting in multiple items appearing highlighted simultaneously.
Fixes#1865
Fixes associations for `.iso`, where many apps define `application/x-cd-image` instead of `application/vnd.efi.iso`.
Popsicle and GNOME Disks will now appear as exact matches for opening `.iso` files with this change.
This replaces the up/down arrow glyphs in the context menu for sort
direction with actual sort icons.
This way the icon is not dependent on the user's system font. For
example "Adwaita Sans" contains the up arrow but not the down arrow,
which means the arrow changes shape (depending on the chosen fallback
font) when you switch direction.

I took the liberty to move the icon from the end of the word to the left
side and also preserve an empty space when it's not drawn. It may need
UX approval.
