How many files do you have in the directory that gwenview is trying to open?

Are they shareable?

In my case (reported in 471973 and marked as duplicate) it doesn't matter what kind of image file and what amount of files in a directory. PNG, JPG, GIF, XFC, BMP, all tested by me to crash all the same in a variety of folder configurations. I don't think that providing an example file will move us any closer to resolving it in this case.

Comment 5 hardpenguin13 2023-07-05 15:29:41 UTC
If this is of any help, these are Debian packages that I have installed in between Gwenview working and not working.

Install: linux-image-6.3.0-2-amd64:amd64 (6.3.11-1, automatic), linux-headers-6.3.0-2-amd64:amd64 (6.3.11-1, automatic), libconfig++9v5:amd64 (1.5-0.4, automatic), libxml++2.6-2v5:amd64 (2.40.1-3, automatic), libraw23:amd64 (0.21.1-4, automatic), linux-headers-6.3.0-2-common:amd64 (6.3.11-1, automatic), libffado2:amd64 (2.4.7-1, automatic)
Upgrade: kodi-data:amd64 (2:20.1+dfsg-1, 2:20.2+dfsg-1), libsigc++-3.0-0:amd64 (3.4.0-6, 3.4.0-7), libraptor2-0:amd64 (2.0.15-4, 2.0.16-2), tzdata:amd64 (2023c-6, 2023c-7), libkf5kdcraw5:amd64 (22.12.3-1, 22.12.3-1+b1), libpipewire-0.3-common:amd64 (0.3.71-2, 0.3.72-2), pipewire-pulse:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2), kodi:amd64 (2:20.1+dfsg-1, 2:20.2+dfsg-1), libcairomm-1.16-1:amd64 (1.16.2-4, 1.16.2-6), linux-headers-amd64:amd64 (6.3.7-1, 6.3.11-1), pipewire:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2), linux-image-amd64:amd64 (6.3.7-1, 6.3.11-1), libspa-0.2-bluetooth:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2), python3-cairo:amd64 (1.20.1-5+b1, 1.24.0-1), pipewire-bin:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2), kodi-bin:amd64 (2:20.1+dfsg-1, 2:20.2+dfsg-1), libspa-0.2-modules:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2), kodi-repository-kodi:amd64 (2:20.1+dfsg-1, 2:20.2+dfsg-1), libpipewire-0.3-modules:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2), wireplumber:amd64 (0.4.14-2, 0.4.14-3), libwireplumber-0.4-0:amd64 (0.4.14-2, 0.4.14-3), libpipewire-0.3-0:amd64 (0.3.71-2+b2, 0.3.72-2)

From Gwenview dependencies, only libkf5kdcraw5 is there. 

And since "Libkdcraw is a Qt interface to the libraw library used to decode RAW picture files. " and libraw pops up in both Joerg's and mine error logs, I would say that this might be it.
Comment 6 hardpenguin13 2023-07-05 15:30:37 UTC
Oh and libraw itself is there as well.
Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2023-07-05 15:31:06 UTC
Then  please attach the image that makes it crash for you.
Comment 8 Hendrik Lehmbruch 2023-07-05 15:43:00 UTC

one of the images which crashing gwenview

one of the images which makes gwenview crashing, and it is equal if trying to open a png or jpg file, gwenview crashes.

And as written above, libkf5kdcraw5 and libraw23 came in with a full-upgrade!
Comment 11 Albert Astals Cid 2023-07-05 16:24:19 UTC
works fine for me, the way you're describing this issue it could very well be that debian messed up the transition of libraw and forgot to rebuild kimageformats, have you reported this to them?
Comment 12 Hendrik Lehmbruch 2023-07-05 16:28:08 UTC
good catch, https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-libraw.html

Comment 14 Mirco Miranda 2023-07-05 18:11:54 UTC
I have the same issue on my Debian unstable after today dist-upgrade. The problem is that the transition to libraw23 is not complete and some libraries are compiled using libraw20 and some others with libraw23. 
Gwenview uses kimage-plugins (that are still compiled with libraw20) and libkf5kdcraw (that uses libraw23). This is the why of the crash.
The kimgraw plugin of kimage-plugins supports latest libraw version... we have to wait that the mantainers releases the package compiled using latest libraw.
Comment 15 Hendrik Lehmbruch 2023-07-05 19:06:10 UTC
I think this issue can be closed. Because the upload of kimageformat-plugins (5.107.0-2) in debian unstable fixes that little problem.
Comment 16 hardpenguin13 2023-07-06 08:50:21 UTC
Indeed, the issue is gone now and my Gwenview is back to normal.

Thank you everyone!
