#KDE apps love breaking/hanging once a mounted storage (i.e. remote share) is no longer accessible - even after you've unmounted it (after the fact).

This includes #Dolphin and #Gwenview (I'm sure there's more). Everything you do from that point on just hangs, forever and requires terminating the app. This ofc isn't an issue on #Windows (as far as I'm aware)/#macOS (nothing hangs or affected by it, it just reminds you to unmount it with the click of a button) - surely there's a fix for this on #Linux?

It's funny how mounting all sorts of storage options is our strength (on Linux), and yet it's also one of our biggest weakness when it comes to 'user-friendliness' - it's easy to miss as a long time Linux user, and yet still obvious. It was most obvious when a lot of people started hopping on to #SteamOS/#SteamDeck.

A lot of things on Linux def no longer needs terminal/any 'special' technical knowledge, but mounting storage? Get ready to mess with fstab and updating mount permissions at least, if not also your boot options. Fortunately, formatting or partitioning a drive does not require the terminal (for the most part), but you also can't do so right from your file manager - needing a separate, dedicated app.

@razze Can #Gwenview display them? I think so?

Also have you tried #imagemagick or #graphicsmagick? There might even be a #KDE Context menu entry to batch convert them.

Gwenview can even display Sony RAW images.

#Gwenview is a fast and easy to use image viewer.

#Krita is the full-featured digital art studio for creating digital paintings.

#DigiKam is an advanced digital photo management application.

#Showfoto is a fast image editor with powerful image editing tools and the standalone image editor of the DigiKam project.

#KPhotoAlbum is an application for tagging and managing photo collections and making it searchable.

#OptiImage allows you to optimize your images.

#Linux #KDE

@kde I love #kde, but sometimes I hit against some inconsistencies. Lately I had to print from #Gwenview and #Okular, but the "print" action has a very different flow to be activated, I'd expect to be the same. Not a big fan of #Gnome, but maybe they are more targeting consistencies?

Some small victories so far :)

#Dolphin #GwenView #KCalc #NeoChat

Yet another #KDE tool I rely on has somehow become broken/unusable :)) RIGHT WHEN I GOT BACK #Kdenlive TOO (after months of not being able to launch the app)!! This time it's #Gwenview's Annotate feature, which I've already always found rather janky with how it has to open a whole 'nother window just to edit, and that window always opens ridiculously tiny for wtv reason - this time a tool's set of toolbar, all just do nothing. #GIMP it is I guess eventho I only wish to do something incredibly minor.

#linux #wayland #gwenview
So apparently my Gwenview Annotate is broken, I can't find other Image viewer that has annotate similar to Gwenview. And this seemed to be a better workaround for that...
