gwenview 23.04.1
gnome 44.1
I haven’t used gwenview in quite a while, about a year. This latest version thinks that all files should be folders. When I select an image file to open, the following results:
/u/websites/liferoot/specials/images/20040425-cactus-flower2-900x600.jpg is a file, but a folder was expected.
This renders the image viewer useless.
Any suggestions for repairing this?
Is this a local file path or do you try to open a web ressource? gwenview on latest Tumbleweed works fine here…
It is a local file.

There is an upstream bugreport for it. But the description is so bad that it is impossible to reproduce. No clue how tio trigger the crash…
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467223
Try to create a new user to rule out a broken user profile.
I uninstalled the app, went through the .local and .config folders expunging anything related to gwenview, installed the app. No joy.
Yes, that is me; I had forgotten about reporting it. I note that there has been zero activity regarding the report.
It is not a crash.
I would try this … it may (or may not) be helpful in troubleshooting:
Open up a command line window and execute:
gwenview
Then navigate to whatever directory(ies) that contain images and see how it works.
Still the same problem? Exit from gwenview and check the output in the CLI window.

I have already tried re-installing.
It looks as if, you submitted the KDE Bug Report mentioned by hui …
Given that, you’re using GNOME as your Desktop Environment, are you absolutely certain that, you have installed all the KDE components required by Gwenview?
I’m on Leap 15.4 – therefore Tumbleweed may well be different but:

Here’s a diff between the two systems of “rpm --query --requires gwenview5”. There does not seem to anything missing. The first list is from your post earlier.

Then, given your preference of using GNOME as your Desktop Environment, I can only suggest that, you install Gwenview as a Flatpak: <https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.gwenview>.
I can only suggest that, you install Gwenview as a Flatpak:
Tried it. Didn’t work. Complaints about how this is not there, that is not correct, … Now I have another 1 GB of cruft.
Gwenview worked at one time, quite well. I’ll miss it.
Possibly due to a Qt application running on a GNOME (Gtk) Desktop Environment.
Or, change to KDE Plasma …
