I have Kubuntu 16.04 I have gwenview 15.12.3 and kipi-plugins version 4:4.12.0-0ubuntu7 None of the plugins work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Launch gwenview and click on the Plugins menu Actual Results: There are 4 entries, none of which work. The 'Images' entry displays a popup giving the filename of the current image and an 'OK' button which just closes the popup. The 'Tools' entry displays a a popup giving the directory name and filename of the current image and 'OK' and 'cancell' buttons. Whichever one I choose, it displays the same popup that the 'Images' entry does. The 'Import' entry displays a popup saying: Plugin_KXMLHelloWorld::slotActivateActionImport() The 'Export' entry displays a popup saying: activatedPlugin_KXMLHelloWorld::slotActivateActionExport() activated Expected Results: The menu should have a lot more options, all of which do useful things.
I confirm this problem. The only option that appears in all plugins submenus is "KXML Hello World...", even though last kipi-plugins package from Ubuntu universe repositories is installed.
Can confirm this in Linux Mint 18 (which is based on ubuntu 16.04) Al
Seems to be resolved with later versions. I can install and use Kipi plugins in Gwenview with Kubuntu 17.04 and 17.10, and in KDE Neon.
