I encountered the same problem some weeks ago. But after recent updates of Cauldron and my manual installation of some packages, the problem has disappeared. Maybe there are some dependent packages missing?

It seems, that the corresponding *.desktop files for images are just missing. There are neither jpg.desktop, png.desktop etc files in /usr/share/kservices5 directory nor qimageioplugins directory with these files there... Maybe yes some packaging problem...
So the directory qimageioplugins with all images *.desktop files etc is provided by the kf5 kdelibs4support package - just install it and gwenview starts to display images. For additional image types (eps, psd xfc etc) kimageformats package is required. So I guess kdelibs4support package should be a dependency for gwenview...
fixed in new gwenview. Please test.

1. urpme kdelibs4support 2. urpmi --no-recommends --auto-update http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/media_info/20150816-161548-synthesis.hdlist.cz updated medium "Core Release" medium "Nonfree Release" is up-to-date medium "Tainted Release" is up-to-date To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed: Package Version Release Arch (medium "Core Release") gwenview 15.07.90 3.mga6 i586 kdelibs4support 5.13.0 1.mga6 i586 libgwenviewlib4 15.07.90 3.mga6 i586 12MB of additional disk space will be used. 3MB of packages will be retrieved. Proceed with the installation of the 4 packages? (Y/n) So kdelibs4support is pulled in with gwenview and gwenview is now displaying images OK. Thanks for the fix!
