cgeo: Short click on "Saved Log" should not open context menu

Is your feature request related to a problem? Once upon a time, a short click on my Saved Log immediately opened it for edit. Which is - ok, “was” - pretty handy, as I for sure do not need to translate it into my native language. Or need to decrypt it … 😉 Moreover a short click should always be followed by an immediate action - context menus just appear on long clicks. Usually.

Describe the solution you’d like Short click on Saved Log should immediately open it for edit. (like Personal Note already/still does correctly, as well as Waypoint list entries … and in fact everything else in Android … and for the sake of consistency this should even apply to the rest of Logbook: Short click => en/decrypt (as before); Long click => context menu).

This was done by me as part of #8897 and as stated before I did it. here is the quote for reference:

As already partly discussed in #2012 I would also use this to replace the long/short press logic with a simpler logic: short press opens context menu with all options for a log available (including convert using ROI13 as currently done on short press). If that’s all right?

Personally I like the current way much better than the old one. I think that UX should be designed such that long-clicks are never necessary to perform actions on single items and are only used to mark either text or (multiple) items in a list-like view (like you can see it e.g. in popular messengers or email clients) and perform group actions on them (e.g. “copy all”, “delete all”, …) But thats a personal preference only. I am open for reverting the old way or any other solution if the community prefers something else of course.
