It is since a few days. Before we had just disabled the menu entry. This was 
because we had not used the services architecture properly.
We just took the first selected image and decided what application can open 
these file types.
But this is the wrong way to do it. If you select more then one image, chances 
are that you can not open all selected files in the application.
So what we did was disabling the menu entry on multiple selection.
Now we have a different approach (like dolphin and gwenview does, too).
Generate a query for all selected mimetypes and provide applications that can 
handle all those mime types.
If none can be found, open the "Open with" application dialog, where you can 
choose the app to work with by yourself.
