SUMMARY If I have a folder structure like this: - Project Folder - 200GB ProRes video file - 6MB PNG file Attempting to open the PNG file results in Gwenview freezing before the file has finished the fade-in animation, then crashing. If I delete the 200GB ProRes video file (or move it to a different directory), then the PNG file opens successfully. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Put a very large media file in the same directory as an image. 2. Attempt to open the image. OBSERVED RESULT Gwenview crashes on launch. EXPECTED RESULT Gwenview displays the image. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.9.1-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I don't think this is a recent regression. I've long had certain "broken" folders where Gwenview was unable to open images; I've never managed to determine an exact cause until now.
Created attachment 169634 [details] Full backtrace from crash I think this is a full backtrace from one of the crashes. Based on the behavior and the backtrace, I assume the issue has something to do with Gwenview attempting to thumbnail the massive video file.
