gwenview can't display it properly (you should see logo, there's no logo in
gwenview)
SUMMARY
***
Gwenview should be the master of displaying photos. Unfortunately its decoders
are broken, hence its not suitable for browsing displaying photos. I have 4
photos encoded in the following formats: png, jpg, jxl, webp. Gwenview cannot
display them properly. I consider it SEVERE. If Gwenview that is a photo
browser can't display photos (png, jpg, jxl, webp) and you consider its not
severe, then I don't know what a SEVERE is.
Status Quo:
All photos (jpg, jxl, png, webp) are displayed properly in other photo viewers
(from examplein software from suckless or imagemagic "$ display", graphicsmagic
"$ gm display"). All photos are the same picture with a fainted logo on a red
background. Can you see logo in Gwenview? No. Just the red rectangular. Nobody
sees what is on photo while using gwenview. That's not the photo. That's just a
red rectangular. Verdict: Gwenview fail.
Should be:
Gwwenview should dislpay those photos correctly. Just display them.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open attached photos (png, jpg, jxl, webp) in imagemagic ($ display *.jpg, $
display *.png and so on)
2. Open them in gwenview
3. Compare. Not the photo. Just red rectangular in Gwewnview.
