Suppose previews are on. Now the user clicks on the button, wanting to turn previews off. Sadly, nothing will happen, because the user just switched into "automatic" mode. That's not something we should implement! Besides that, `tristate` is only a property of `QCheckBox`, but not of `QToolButton`. (And see also confusion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/8c5ael/there_are_several_settings_in_kde_that_have_a/.) Thus this would need to be a separate config option, making everything even more complicated. I don't get why you want to see those tiny previews? Or is it simply out of principle that you want to control the thumbnails, even if they are not useful?
