Hey there,
I am running Dolphin 23.08.1 and no matter how many actions I enable, there is no “Actions” submenu in my context menu.
It used to be: When you have at least 3 actions, the actions are put in the “Actions” submenu, right?
did you ever find a fix for this? I’ve got a similar thing going on where the terminal, folder colours and disk usage stats are at the “top level” instead of inside an actions menu - however on another fresh install they are inside the actions menu
Since it is the same subject as Dolphin Context Menu - #6 by meven
My problem with this was, that the context menu of Dolphin is way to cluttered for my taste. You can not disable certain completely unnecessary (at least for me) items. And moving them into an “Actions”-subfolder did also not work.
So I ended up going through the hassle of compiling my own Dolphin … to have complete control over this.
I think, I did also file a bug-report / feature request.
Can you share it here, for cross-referencing please.
Sorry, I can not find it in my bug-reports. … So it must have been somewhere else, where I complained about the cluttered context-menu.
I’d be curious to know which one(s).
There are very few that you cannot disable, everything between copy-paste actions and the property, can be removed.
Ok, I had to test a freshly installed Dolphin for this. And I disabled every checkbox in the context-menu-settings-dialog.
And these are some of the entries, which were left and which I don’t have a use for:
Move to Trash, Activity, Share, Rename, Move to new Folder, Compress, Tag, Color Folder, Slide-Show.
I translated them from German. The 2 functions out of these, which I actually do use are “Move to Trash” and “Rename”. But I have toolbar buttons for them. … So all of them are just unnecessary and distracting clutter for me. …
And from a design-standpoint: It would be so easy to just give the user full control and allow to disable and enable each entry … not just random 75% of the entries.
I had this discussion years ago with you guys, … and I must say: At least some entries can now be disabled, like “Open in new Tab”, “Open in new Window”, …. These used to be hardcoded too! … So there is some progress at least! 
What do you say? These can not be disabled, can they? … They are just annoyingly bloating up the menu.
