Improve usability of Computer:// file pane

Submitted by Yousuf Philips @philipzae

Assigned to Xfce Bug Triage

Link to original bug (#16715)

Description

Now that computer:/// is in the limelight (bug 16472), we should improve the information that is presented to the user.

Tree View

Columns: Name, Type*, Size (aka Total Size), Free Space*, Device*

columns that only appear in computer://

  1. Type: Will be text like 'Internal Disk', 'External Disk', 'Removable Disk', 'Cell Phone', 'Camera', 'CD Drive'
  2. Free Space: Displayed similar to Size, based on the 'Show file size in binary format' checkbox in settings
  3. Device: Device name is removed from the current file/folder name field and place in this column

Icon View

Similar to the desktop, entries will have tooltips which will display some of the same info which is in the columns, primarily the total size and free space.
