  That was my first thought too, but unfortunately it leaks out via the `actionCollection()`. See my patch to K3b (D12598 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D12598>), where it was used that way. I'd rather not break third-party users I don't know about…

  Isn't not confusing people what the "disabled state" is there for, compared to making widgets invisible? At least that's how it's done in most other places: Disable options which don't apply. Granted, the connection to Short View is a bit hard to discover, but that was the case before the patch too (even more so).
  
  Nevertheless, I'll hold of with the patch for now. Another more radical way forward would be to merge Next and Above as two separate View modes like in Dolphin (and get rid of the rest?). Seems like we need more discussion about the modes in general, let's do that in T8552 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T8552>.
