Version: 2.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux I have some folders containing many svg images. My usual way of opening them was to open the folder with Dolphin and then open the svg file which actually starts gwenview and displays the svg image. So far so good. The new problem is that now the previous and next buttons are greyed out and thus I cannot navigate through the svg files using gwenview (new compared with gwenview included in the archlinux KDE 4.6.5 packages where my work flow was still possible). If I open the svg file directly from within gwenview (file->open) then previous/next works. But I suggest this should also be possible from within Dolphin as it was in 4.6.5. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: open svg file from dolphin Actual Results: previous/next buttons are disabled Expected Results: previous/next buttons are enabled I am using archlinux current stable packages which made KDE 4.7.0 available today.
Gwenview seems not to know the directory the SVG file is in. When you open an SVG in gwenview, then press ESC to view the directory, nothing is shown and the location bar is empty. Also, when opening a directory containing an SVG, gwenview fails to display a thumbnail of it. Then, clicking the icon to view the SVG, it displays it as expected (back/forward buttons work and pressing ESC returns to directory view). There is also no preview in the preview tab of the properties dialogue in gwenview (but there is a preview if the properties dialogue is opened from Dolphin). Gwenview 2.7, KDE 4.7, Arch Linux.
as a workaround one can reload the svg image in gwenview (e.g. by the key F5) as this surprisingly makes gwenview recognize the image's folder
This now works for me, in Gwenview 2.7.2 / KDE 4.7.3.
Works for me when using KDE SC 4.8 beta2. Feel free to reopen if it still happens in recent version .
I noticed today that this bug is back in gwenview 2.8.1 / KDE 4.8.1. Confirmed on two different computers, both running Arch Linux.
