SUMMARY Gwenview suddenly takes ages to show up. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open any image | launch gwenview from command line 2. Wait 20 to 30 secs OBSERVED RESULT Hopefully see gwenview showing up, a frozen screen if launched with no image to open. EXPECTED RESULT Gwenview on same hardware took 1 to 2.5 secs to start up normally. Home screen immediately loaded up when started with no image to open. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.5.10-fc30 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.12.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When launched from command line, shows no error but: Invalid url QUrl("") I've already tried deleting .local/share/gwenview/* with no luck.
Last update to kf5-5.68.0 solved the problem.
