Bug 434210

I have the same problem, now every time gewenview takes several seconds to open even if opened without any file (from the system menu). During these seconds only the title bar is rendered, the window content is not updated, it shows the previous background. The CPU is idle, the disk is idle too. I tried to start gwenview with strace and it appears it is waiting for a resources with several timeouts:

I tried to delete .config/gwenviewrc without success, I can't find a workaround. On my system gwenview is unusable. I don't know if it is related but I have a dual monitor 1920x1080 with nvidia driver.

My system is Kubuntu 20.04.02

I reinstalled gwenview and now It starts without delay

See Bug 416937 and Bug 411196

In my experience "stuck" dolphin or gwenview could be "unstuck" by opening Klipper and deleting the "entire clipboard history".

Thanks for the report! I've looked at reports for Gwenview and I can see no similar reports of this and it's not reproducible in 25.07.70. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.3.5 or newer? If you do nothing, the report will close automatically after 30 days.
