Virtual file context menu options should be in submenu

[ckamm]

Follow up from #6815.

Currently the vfs actions appear next to sharing options etc. That's fine while there are few options but will become cluttered as the number of actions increases. A separator or maybe a submenu would be best.

Depends on #6921 and similar work for other shell extensions.

For Native WinVFS, maybe no longer necessary. (see #7746)

@michaelstingl as far as I can see, #7746 suggests to revert on Windows what this issue suggests to introduce on Linux. Which strategy should be followed: submenu or not? We should decide on a single approach and then implement this everywhere to provide a consistent UX on all platforms.

Wrong assumption, see below.

[michaelstingl]

submenu or not?

I think we can't control this in Windows. so others platforms would need to follow…

[TheOneRing]

I assume this ticket was about changing

[fmoc]

Oh, I see... Well, adding a submenu there likely makes things worse, so I'd rather try to add a separator.

[fmoc]

It doesn't seem like GNOME's Nautilus extension API provides any functionality to add separators, and an empty entry is even worse. I guess we'll have to add a submenu. However, that's would be quite ugly with the current socket API...

@tbsbdr afaik sub menus in submenus are considered bad year 2k ux, am I right?

[fmoc]

Well, either a submenu, or we'll leave it as is for the Nautilus version. I'm looking into the Dolphin implementation next.

[fmoc]

Adding a separator in Dolphin worked fine. For GNOME, we would have to use a submenu, or leave things as they are.

jep, don't! (unless you have very very good reason..)

[fmoc]

I think we can close this issue then? Given we don't want to add a submenu but Nautilus doesn't provide separators, we won't be making changes there. For Dolphin, the PR was merged.
