When opening plugins/images menu only offers printing options. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gwenview 2. open plugins/images Actual Results: Printing options are shown. Expected Results: Metadata related entries should appear too. gwenview -> 16.04.0-2 kipi-plugins -> 5.0.0_beta6-1 libkipi -> 16.04.0-1 exiv2 -> 0.25-1 libkexiv2 -> 16.04.0-2 libkexiv2_4 -> 15.08.3-2 KDE Frameworks 5.21.0 Qt 5.6.0
Still the same, even though gwenview and kipi-plugins got various updates. The versions now are: gwenview -> 16.04.3-1 kipi-plugins -> 5.1.0-1 libkipi -> 16.04.3-1 exiv2 -> 0.25-1 libkexiv2 -> 16.04.3-1 libkexiv2_4 -> 15.08.3-2 KDE Frameworks 5.24.0 Qt 5.7.0 Interestingly, in digikam the metadata dialogue can be evoked.
It all depends on what plugins you have installed. Default settings would be controlled by your distro. If I install kipi-plugins in Kubuntu 17.04, the menu becomes populated with a zillion plugins.
