Navigate to a remote SMB share 3. Copy an image to the share (if one does not already exist) 4. Open the image using Gwenview OBSERVED RESULT Gwenview opens but never loads the image EXPECTED RESULT The image should open successfully just as it does locally SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.4.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This may potentially be a Dolphin bug or a bug with the KIO framework.

Yes this is still an issue on 25.08.0. Gwenview just doesn't seem to work with SMB at all. Image previews in Dolphin also don't work.
