file_icon label widget needs the selection events

I've seen you have moved the labels of files displayed on Jesus with a separate ELM widget on your data/themes/elm_ext folder.

I can't create a proper program on my theme file that can change the textblock description of the "public.text" part when an item gets selected.

Tipically a program like:

  program {
     signal: "elm,state,selected"; source: "elm";
     action: STATE_SET "selected" 0.0;
     target: "elm.text";
  }
  program {
     signal: "elm,state,unselected"; source: "elm";
     action: STATE_SET "default" 0.0;
     target: "elm.text";
  }

in a theme manages this kind of operation.

Try to add something similar, but I'm not sure that your widget send "state,selected" signals.

Its not sending, and I am not sure if it should, the item does not know if it gets selected or not, and I am not sure if it should know that. The widget is just the visual representation of a file, which does not have a selection state, I think something should be done in gengrid there... I will have a look at the code.
