Created attachment 148224 [details] Gwenview without plugins in menu bar SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** When I open a photo with gwenview the plugins menu is missing; kipiplugin doesn't seem to integrate with gwenview while it is present in Digikam. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a picture of your choice with gwenview 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT no plugins menu is displayed in the menu bar or elsewhere in gwenview's gui EXPECTED RESULT A menu with kipiplugins of course SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.3 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.3.18-150300.59.63-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz Memory: 7.6 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® UHD Graphics 630 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Kde Gear 22.03.90
This was done intentionally, since the code is all bug abandoned, most of the plugins we tested were broken, and Gwenview already has an alternative sharing system (but with fewer plugins). There is an ongoing discussion about whether to revert this change, or prioritize migrating the still-working Kipi plugins to the new system. If would be very helpful if you could tell me which Kipi plugins you were still using.
Created attachment 148254 [details] signature.asc Good evening dear Nate, I understand better why Gwenview doesn't look the same as before... everyone gets old even our favorite software. I was not a big consumer of "kipiplugins" but as I have an android smartphone, so I need a Google account ; I was using the *import and export plugins for Gdrive and Gphotos*. It's not great for privacy but it's so convenient when you're hurry. And as I was born in the great disco era, I still print pictures on paper (I know it's not very good for mother earth, so I only print when it's absolutely necessary) ; the* "printimages"* plugin was very handy to make a board of different pictures . Anyway, I received an email from Google, informing me that /"from May 30th, you may not be able to access apps that use a less secure connection technology"/. So I'm not sure if Gdrive will still work with KDE. As far as printing on paper is concerned, it's more annoying: this weekend I had to write a letter for an insurance company; the pictures should show them the problem. I was able to do it another way but it was longer and less convenient. Thanks to you and all the KDE contributors for your great work ; there are other desktop environments but they are less good and sometimes very expensive! Sincerely
Thank you for the information! Indeed the Google Drive plugin is about to break. But it seems like the printing plugin that lets you make a collage on a single piece of paper was working and still in use. I will pass on that information.

I also miss the very good photo printing wizard in the kipi-plugins. There is now something similar in digikam, the "Print Creator" (https://docs.digikam.org/en/post_processing/print_creator.html). I would be great if this wizard could also be directly started from gwenview.
