Description

It would be great if there could be an option to change what double clicking on the tray icon does. When I double click, I would like it to behave like most shared folder programs (dropbox, pcloud, sync etc...) do and open the syncthing home folder.

I've installed synctrazor on everyone in my household's computer, and some of them are not very tech savy, and if they double click on synctrazor now, synctrazor opens and they see the syncthing web control which is a) overwhelming to them and not useful (to them) and b) not really a place I want them to be, they can do more harm than good there. They have used dropbox in the past, so opening their home folder is the behavior they expect.

Thanks!

Research direction
Investigate how the tray icon double click is currently handled (likely in MainWindow.xaml or a dedicated tray icon class). Add a new setting in the settings window (SettingsWindow.xaml) to toggle the behavior between opening the web UI and opening the home folder. The home folder path can be obtained from the Syncthing API or configuration. Reference existing pull requests or discussions in the issue comments for further guidance.
