Could you please install the gwenview-debug package, the backtrace as
it is in your report is not useful.
Thanks

I suspect a duplicate of 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138467

Where can I find the gwenview-debug package? It doesn't show up in Adept or Add/Remove Programs. Tell me exactly what it is called and where I can find it and I will install it.

Thanks

Jim

Unfortunately I'm not an Ubuntu/debian expert, as far as i can say in mandriva and other rpm based distro
is released a packaged named as the application with debug informatione (e.g. gwenviewX.Y.Z-debug.rpm)

Angelo

The package needed is kde-graphics-dbg

a backtrace of this crash is here:

System is Debian Etch
uname -a: Linux ws2 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 24 18:32:57 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linu

thanks a lot

I suspect your version of libexiv2 is too old. Can you attach a picture 
causing the problem to this bug?

We have a similar bug also.

Version: 1.4.1-1 on KDE 5:47 (stable), on Debian Etch.

Running Debian Etch, latest update (Feb. 2008). But this has been crashing for at least a month before latest update; possibly since some apt-get-upgrade in Dec 07 or Jan 08.

This crashes BEFORE I ask it to load any images --every time, it crashes by itself immediately after the file system (not thumbnails, but the detailed list) appears to be loaded. I can see the directory tree for a split sec, then it crashes.

Backtrace below. I installed kde-graphics-dbg and assume that's what it's using. 

I can use EOG for now (or even call up files in GIMP), but would rather fix Gwenview, if possible.

Thanks muchly,
Liz J

Unfortunately i believe the only way to fix it is to ask debian
to backport the patch from svn or gwenview 1.4.2.

Moreover libexiv2 0.10 is buggy and an update to at least
0.12 is strongly suggested.

IMO this bug has to be tested into 1.4.2 to be sure it is
really fixed as i believe and close it.

Angelo

Ok I've found it :)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138467 ***

Additional comment to comment #9 and comment #8 into bug #138467 you could find the patch to suggest to debian (or other distro) packagers.
