#KDE 's #Gwenview 'sidebar features', esp Annotate, could really, really gain from some extra love. Some features being buggy is one thing, but the amount of times I've seen people use it to annotate and then miss to save it, losing their edits completely, simply bcos of its confusing separate window just to annotate and its placements of buttons etc. is just not ideal.

What's still *not* working perfectly is multimonitor handling (with a different ICC profile for each monitor). #Rawtherapee kind of handles that by offering an always-visible ICC profile select field. Other applications, like #digiKam, #nomacs and #Gwenview, are color managed but (at least on Ubuntu 24 with X11) either (1) always use the primary display's ICC profile or (2) require diving in the menus to set it.

@acrux

Thank you for the information.

Applied the update to libexiv2 and ALL IS WELL.

Gwenview is working as it should.

La biblioteca Exiv2 proporciona:

EDIT: Issue has been resolved by a bug fix to libexiv2 in Ubuntu-based distributions)

#AskFedi
#KDE
#Gwenview

In the past few days (with a few system updates in the meantime) Gwenview has crashed when trying to open png and jpg graphics.

I don't think it is an issue internal to Gwenview. I installed qimgv as a recommended viewer, and it fails as well. Something in Qt related utilities?

Anybody know what's going on?

(running Kubuntu 24.04)

Usuarios de KDE,
¿Alguien está teniendo problemas con kioslave5?
Entiendo que debe tratarse de algo que interviene en la visualización de las miniaturas de imágenes en Dolphin y el visor de imágenes Gwenview.
Gwenview no se abre para mostrar una imagen desde Dolphi.
Cuando abro Gwenview de forma independiente, e intento navegar por los directorios, se cierra proporcionando un mensaje de error.
Cuando intentas visualizar una imagen desde Dolphin empiezan a salir mensajes de error de kioslave5.
Ha capturado la pantalla, para mostrar estos mensajes. Pero si intento pasarlos a GIMP me da error.
La ventana del capturador de pantalla, sí que me permite guardarlos en disco.

Cuando intento abrirlos con GIMP me da error, con los mensajes que aparecen en la imagen adjunta, que he conseguido recortar del archivo de pantalla con XnView.

He limpiado paquetes (autoremove) y he hecho un update y un upgrade con apt, restaurando después la sesión, pero no ha servido para nada.

Since an update to #Kubuntu 24.04 this morning, I have been unable to load any graphic files into any application - I've tried #GIMP, #Gwenview & DigiKam. Even Dolphin has issues. The only one that has worked is Krita.
GIMP error is:
Plug-in crashed: "file-png"
(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-png/file-png)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

#linux #debian #bookworm comes with #gwenView, a simple and fast image viewer that includes a few very useful tools for image editing, sorting your images and saving them in different file formats.

#ubuntuStudio [KDE] 2022.04lts

The standard simple image viewer is #gwenView.

The image found at @scriptkiddie's that you see in this Screenshot taken by #specTacle, the screen tackler that comes with the bundle, has been resized from 1536x1024px to 640x360px and became converted to .webp with #GIMP to get a glimpse on how this format might look on #mastodon, as over here on #friendica we, or at least some to most of us, live more like in a quiet desktop world.

As friendica allows since [2024.12] the use of .webp for the standard stream distribution, it's highly recommended to use that format, it saves a lot of transmission energy, as well as storage space and their for #carbonCredits on every #climateFront.

To see how it really looks like, the actual 99,6 KB image comes in a follow up to this post and will be published as a [spoiler][/spoiler]'ed and [center][/center]'ed image.

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.

Day 12:

Gwenview

For this list, I've been trying to focus not so much on the most exciting applications as the ones I use so often I forget they exist -- and Gwenview definitely fits in that category. I literally use it every day.

It's an image/multimedia browsing utility. Ostensibly for KDE, although I routinely use it in XFCE.

In any case, it's very low-maintenance and the fastest way for me to check out a tree of images -- whether they're PR collections or a series of frames in a PNG stream. Helps a lot when I'm looking for an image and can't quite remember what I called the file.

I've tried some other image browsing apps, but this is the one I keep coming back to.

Testing out #Nix on #SteamOS/#SteamDeck, and so far so good! It's been helpful in getting any of the missing non-graphical packages I need, such as to install and get my #KDE/#Dolphin service menu working (https://github.com/irfanhakim-as/kde-service-menu-reimage) - where I needed a couple of missing deps like #ImageMagick and #Exiftool.

Most of the graphical apps I need are easily found/installable on #Flatpak though, except something like #Alacritty. I previously installed it on this system using #Distrobox and it worked great, I thought to test installing a graphical app off of Nix - but it doesn't seem that worked with Alacritty. From my search it's something to do with GL/Vulkan apps outside of #NixOS or something of the like. There were also some apps that aren't available as Flatpaks, are available on #ArchLinux 's #AUR, but aren't available on Nix.

There will also be things that don't work too, I think for reasons that may be obvious to others, such as adding HEIC support to KDE apps like Dolphin (for previews) and #Gwenview (for image viewing). On a 'normal' Linux system, this is done by installing libheif and kimageformats (pretty sure u need both). Installing them on this SteamOS machine tho off of Nix, doesn't really help the system's Dolphin and Gwenview app to be able to serve/open HEIC files.

Still, I know I'm just barely scratching the surface of what I could do with Nix - even as just a 'package manager'. I understand why maybe #Valve is holding themselves back from pre-installing Nix for now tho (unlike something like #Podman or #Distrobox, which they were surprisingly - in a good way, happy to do) bcos the situation with the Nix project, atm, is a lil confusing.. but as recommended by others on here, I think I'm having a good luck/time with the #Lix project's 'flavour' of Nix.

Something that #Okular does that I FREAKING LOVE 💌 is having the
`File -> Open Containing Folder`
menu option.

Absolute gold, @tsdgeos and team. I'd **love** that in many others like #Krita, #Gwenview... and thousands of non-KDE apps too!

It is very very useful, even if hidden in a menu. Makes it very easy to find related stuff... or simply just to find wherever you put that in.

#Gwenview Weil die selbstangelegten Maustasten hier nicht funktionieren war ich schon enttäuscht,
Aha! Man kann sich den Zoom aufs Mausrad legen. Damit ist das auch gut gelöst. 👍

Is there a way to set image as wallpaper from Gwenview? I looked through all the options but couldn't find a way.

Currently what I do is Right Click > Open containing folder.. Then locate the image > Right Click > set it as wallpaper.

Is there a better way of doing this??

#KDE apps love breaking/hanging once a mounted storage (i.e. remote share) is no longer accessible - even after you've unmounted it (after the fact).

This includes #Dolphin and #Gwenview (I'm sure there's more). Everything you do from that point on just hangs, forever and requires terminating the app. This ofc isn't an issue on #Windows (as far as I'm aware)/#macOS (nothing hangs or affected by it, it just reminds you to unmount it with the click of a button) - surely there's a fix for this on #Linux?

It's funny how mounting all sorts of storage options is our strength (on Linux), and yet it's also one of our biggest weakness when it comes to 'user-friendliness' - it's easy to miss as a long time Linux user, and yet still obvious. It was most obvious when a lot of people started hopping on to #SteamOS/#SteamDeck.

A lot of things on Linux def no longer needs terminal/any 'special' technical knowledge, but mounting storage? Get ready to mess with fstab and updating mount permissions at least, if not also your boot options. Fortunately, formatting or partitioning a drive does not require the terminal (for the most part), but you also can't do so right from your file manager - needing a separate, dedicated app.

Yet another #KDE tool I rely on has somehow become broken/unusable :)) RIGHT WHEN I GOT BACK #Kdenlive TOO (after months of not being able to launch the app)!! This time it's #Gwenview's Annotate feature, which I've already always found rather janky with how it has to open a whole 'nother window just to edit, and that window always opens ridiculously tiny for wtv reason - this time a tool's set of toolbar, all just do nothing. #GIMP it is I guess eventho I only wish to do something incredibly minor.
