URL is an example from Imgur. The following error occurs in the Gwenview UI: "Loading 'filename' failed: Loading meta information failed" Gwenview also sends the following to stdout: "gwenview(3451) Gwenview::JPEGErrorManager::errorExitCallBack: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x47 0x49 gwenview(3451): libjpeg fatal error" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Rename a GIF file to .jpg 2. Open in Gwenview (local or http doesn't matter) Actual Results: Image fails to load Expected Results: Image displays, perhaps with a warning about file extension/type mismatch There is a strong case saying it shouldn't be Gwenview's job to compensate for people naming their files incorrectly, and I will also be complaining to Imgur specifically about this. I'm just putting it here too, because even if you choose to mark it as WONTFIX it should still show up in a Google search a few years from now :-)
Hm, there is actually a commit that should make it work, see http://commits.kde.org/gwenview/8bb1d8a60cd98a223e1b062a0be09bae9056a15a
This issue is still occurring on Gwenview 15.08.2, KDE Frameworks 5.15.0, Qt 5.4.2.
Greg's right, I can still reproduce using git master.

Git commit 6a79391a9ab68bec839897369c665ee2e3afe7e5 by Arjen Hiemstra. Committed on 29/04/2021 at 09:29. Pushed by ahiemstra into branch 'master'. Prefer mime type from content over file name when loading QMimeDatabase::mimeTypeForFileNameAndData() will prefer using the filename for mime type determination. This allow it to be fooled when the filename is something different than the contents. To avoid this, reverse the logic and first try to determine the mimetype from the file's contents and only use filename if that fails.

This fix for this caused Bug 441698, which was a more serious issue, so I have reverted it. Re-opening this. Hopefully we will find a fix that allows both issues to be fixed so that we don't have to trade one issue for another.
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)?
I can confirm that this bug is no longer happening on Gwenview 25.08.0.
