SUMMARY I have 2025 JXL files in a folder. When I open it with Gwenview, it begin to show thumbnails, while literally eating all my RAM till I have no more (I have 16GB RAM). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a directory with JXL images (HD resolution mostly) 2. Open previous folder with Gwenview OBSERVED RESULT While generating thumbnails, Gwenview eats all RAM slowly, till system need to take swap storage and then system begin unresponsive. EXPECTED RESULT To show thumbnails without issues. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240202 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Kernel Version: 6.7.2-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7600 Product Name: B550M Phantom Gaming 4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This begin to happen just after transcode all 2025 JPG files to JXL. So I think is related to the way Gwenview is managing JXL thumbnails.
Has "Low Ressource Mode" helped you? Does the bug persist in Gwenview 25.08?
Regarding speed, the truth is that now, without even activating "low resources" mode, reading JXL files is quite fast from an external USB hard drive. RW2 (RAW) files take the same amount of time. As for RAM memory, I don't notice a significant difference between having low resources mode enabled or not. Where I don't see any speed increase after enabling this mode is when opening folders with videos. It's equally slow creating video thumbnails.
