pput.desktop is a DES-EMA action exposing "Upload to Paperless" on the
context menu for application/pdf, using %F so a whole selection uploads
in one click, not just a single file.
It runs pput-gui rather than pput directly: a click has no terminal, so
the wrapper reports the outcome through notify-send, falling back to
zenity. It also sets PINENTRY_USER_DATA, since pass(1) needs a GUI
pinentry when there is no controlling terminal.
Exec= calls pput-gui by name rather than by absolute path, matching the
other actions in this format and keeping a user's home out of the file.
