Hi Nate, 

thanks for taking a look into this. I don't think the bug report itself is a dup of 391669 - only the "Additional Information" part seems to be. The actual bug report is about the installed Kipi plugins not being visible in Gwenview. Maybe I should have reported this in two different reports.

I've reopened the bug, if you think this is still due to the missing Appstream metadata, feel free to ignore me and close it again!

I see, that makes sense, thanks!

Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2019-02-21 15:52:07 UTC

I can't reproduce with gwenview 18.12.2 on Arch Linux.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2019-02-21 15:59:38 UTC

Me neither!

Comment 6 Martin Riethmayer 2019-02-22 07:52:33 UTC

I can still reproduce this on Neon Dev Stable: Gwenview does not show any KIPI plugins.

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2022-10-31 02:09:27 UTC

Support for Kipi plugins has been removed, as most were broken, and overall the product did not offer a good user experience.
