Konsole output with a Gwenview bug.

Here, you can see the mime file issues with gwenview.

Here you can download a NEF file to try open with Gwenview from Mageia 9.

A basic search would have shown that this is an upstream problem. There are even efforts ongoing to renove raw support from gwenview completely.

Comment 4 Jose Manuel López 2023-01-11 14:05:41 CET
It seems that it has been fixed in the Gwenview version 22.12.2 as I can read in the last comments in this link:
https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-dist@kde.org/msg766088.html

So I will wait for the Mageia dev wizards to apply the corresponding corrections
Comment 5 David GEIGER 2023-01-11 17:05:33 CET
Thanks for your report!

Should be fixed with upcoming gwenview-22.12.0-2.mga9 update!

Comment 6 Lewis Smith 2023-01-11 20:52:50 CET
Thank you Jose for the report, but sturmvogel comment 2 has it right: handling RAW image formats is specialised (rawtherapee etc), and not something to be expected of a regular image viewer like Gwenview.
> There are even efforts to remove raw support from gwenview completely
Well done for finding the cure comment 4, but please do not rely on this forever.

Obvious thanks to DavidG for an instant correction. Noting that Jose reports "Gwenview version 22.12.2", while your update is "gwenview-22.12.0-2".

Jose please report back.

Comment 7 Morgan Leijström 2023-01-11 21:04:02 CET
Great :)
FWIW, on mga8 gwenview can open that file in comment 2 so mga8 is OK.
( BTW nice to see more people using murena :) )

Hi all,

Very thanks for work devs!! We can close this bug!
