Created attachment 124587 [details] Demonstrates what Gwenview does to an online image, and then shows a way to make it visible. SUMMARY As of Gwenview 19.12.0, the program handles opening online images a bit differently than before - they are not visible (though there is a workaround for that). E.g. using this command: gwenview https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Ash_Tree_-_geograph.org.uk_-_590710.jpg This ends up with Gwenview yielding a blank viewer, unless the 'Browse' option is selected, before reverting to the 'View' option - this will reveal the image as expected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open up an online image (gwenview https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Ash_Tree_-_geograph.org.uk_-_590710.jpg) OBSERVED RESULT The image is not displayed by Gwenview, though its properties are still present in the Operations sidebar. EXPECTED RESULT The image ought to be visible by Gwenview (without needing to switch between views). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.4.1-arch1-1/5.17.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Attached is a recording of this issue at play.
Additional testing has shown that clicking on the "View" button again once the image has completed its loading process works as well, revealing it as expected.
A little late, but it's now resolved.
