- Desktop Actions / Jump Lists: * Parse FreeDesktop .desktop [Desktop Action] sections across all XDG application directories * Expose quick actions (e.g. Incognito, New Window, New Chat, Projects) in app context menus * Add MenuDivider component for clean 1px section separators - Pinned Folder Stacks: * Allow pinning custom folders and standard XDG user dirs (Downloads, Documents, etc.) to the dock * Minimalist, overflow-safe single-column popover matching standard Omadock context menu styling * Quick 1-click file launching with xdg-open and open in file manager action * Native GTK folder selection integration in Omadock Settings

Summary
This PR introduces two major productivity features to Omadock:
1. ⚡ FreeDesktop Desktop Actions / Jump Lists
.desktop[Desktop Action ...]sections across standard XDG application paths (~/.local/share/applications,/usr/share/applications, flatpak exports, etc.).MenuDividercomponent for clean 1px section separators.2. 🗂️ Pinned Folder Stacks
~/Downloads,~/Documents,~/Projects, or any custom directory) to the dock.xdg-open, plus an "Open in File Manager" action at the bottom.Text.ElideMiddle) ensuring long filenames never overflow the card bounds.Folders & Stacks ›).💬 Question / Advice for Maintainers: TUI & Terminal App Window Identity
During development, we explored whether terminal/TUI applications (e.g.,
battop,btop,htop,nvim,yazi) launched inside terminal emulators (foot,alacritty,kitty) could be dynamically recognized as distinct dock items with their own icon rather than grouping under the generic terminal emulator.Because standard terminal windows share the emulator's
app_id("foot"), dynamic child-process tree inspection via/procin background timers introduced race conditions and polling overhead.If maintainers or community members have ideas on the cleanest way to handle TUI app window identification on Hyprland/Wayland (e.g., via
xdg-terminal-exec --app-id=...vs compositor metadata), we would love to hear your advice and collaborate on it for a future update!
