-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
I viewed a large directory (14GB, ~3500 .jpg files), was scrolling all directory thumbnails from top to bottom.
After some time, gwenview crashed.
This happened repeatedly randomly, last time ~3 times during browsing.
The same happened with a similar, but different directory.

The crash can be reproduced sometimes.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Gwenview (gwenview), signal: Aborted

Comment 1 Eumel 2021-08-25 19:49:19 UTC

Happened multiple times again, note that I was hitting [ENTER] on one picture, then the picture was shown, then [ESC] to get back to gallery view, then it immediately crashed.

Comment 2 Eumel 2021-08-25 20:05:14 UTC

Kind of reliably reproducible now: Also with [Enter], [Space]...[Space] (to forward between pictures), then [ESC], then the thumbnail gallery is shown, but (in this case) only with placeholders, then immediately a crash.

Comment 3 indecisiveautomator 2022-01-21 02:22:29 UTC

Experiencing similar behaviour on Plasma Wayland when trying to browse an 11gb folder with almost 20,000 images (mix of jpgs and pngs). Gwenview just crashes after a few seconds. When trying to open up an image from this folder with Gwenview, it simply crashes after at most about 10 seconds. Sometimes the window will go grey before crashing, as if it is hanging, but usually it will just close immediately.

The first time when attempting to open the directory, no files are displayed and it simply crashes. On subsequent opens, a list of images is displayed with file names and a little timer icon where the thumbnail should go, as if it is trying to load a thumbnail, and then crashes once again after a few seconds. I tried several times, and the behaviour is the same.

When running from the command line, the only new output it spews when trying to open an image before crashing compared to successfully opening an image is:

"Could not find video stream
The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?"

Can reproduce on both my NTFS drive with an 11gb folder and with a 10gb folder with 15,000 items on an ext4 drive.
