Description Jens Reuterberg 2021-08-22 09:11:42 UTC

SUMMARY
Currently Gwenview offers a wealth of image formats to display - but Krita's .kra files aren't one of them which is a shame considering that both are in the KDE camp and it would be a rather nice way to sort, organize and handle Krita workfiles.

Comment 1 Nagy Tibor 2021-08-22 17:59:08 UTC

This may be a regression, Gwenview was able to handle .kra files at some point according to these:

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/commit/5ae28dadba069a56b845c66c6a57f65c3883ede3

However I don't remember .kra files ever working for me in Gwenview though, so can't say for certain.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?
