Description Johannes Zarl-Zierl 2025-06-03 22:14:33 UTC 
SUMMARY
When in the overview page and the category browser pages, it is possible to select the "View", "Run slide show", "Jump to Selection" and other actions even though no thumbnails are shown. Effectively, this means that one is acting blind.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start kphotoalbum
2. Select "View | View"

OBSERVED RESULT
The "first" image in the collection is shown.

EXPECTED RESULT
The "View" action should be disabled.

Disable "View" actions unless in thumbnail view

The view actions (view images, view images in new window, run slideshow,
run randomized slideshow) were always enabled.
It's not appropriate for these actions to be enabled in the overview
page or at the category browser page and could lead to non-intuitive
behaviour.
