Description ChrisC1377 2025-11-16 20:44:57 UTC 
Hello,

Since the first update to Plasma 6.5, on Wayland or X11, Gwenview is very slow to open RAW images (RAF for me and my Fuji x-t3 camera), around 8 to 10 seconds for 56 MO (6,384 × 4,182) files. Before the update, it was instantaneous.
While Gwenview is opening the file, CPU usage increases to 100%.

I posted a message about this on KDE Discuss, but got no response.

I made research to see if there are already reports about this problem, messages or bugs, but I found nothing concerning the last version of Gwenview and Plasma 6.5.

Thanks for your time, Chris
