Bug 182242

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

Basically gwenview is unable to display any images (both thumbnail and actually dispalying it).

When you try to display an image, it comes up with the error (where ***** filename)

Loading **** failed
Loading meta information failed

I asked on the KDE channel and they said the problem might be that exiv2 library isn't properly installed, however it is installed and Gwenview appears to be loading the library correctly.

The console output of when an Image is being loaded is as follows
[quote]gwenview(3730): Attempt to use QAction "edit_redo" with KXMLGUIFactory!
gwenview(3730): Attempt to use QAction "edit_undo" with KXMLGUIFactory!
gwenview(3730) Gwenview::ThumbnailThread::loadThumbnail: Could not generate thumbnail for file "file:///home/ikad/Pictures/DSCF0486.jpg"
gwenview(3730) Gwenview::ThumbnailThread::loadThumbnail: Could not generate thumbnail for file "file:///home/ikad/Pictures/DSCF0487.jpg"
QPainter::begin: Cannot paint on a null pixmap

The same problem appears to happen in konqueror as well, displaying this console output (but konqueror doesn't output anything)

Distribution is archlinux, i686 from binary
