(In reply to Gordon Lack from comment #21) Seems to be related to how old the jpegs are.
2016 and earlier it crashes. 2017 and late its OK. Roughly..... If I run gwenview on the command line for a failing one this is what I see reported: ==================== [gmllaptop]: gwenview DSCN1657.JPG org.kde.kdegraphics.gwenview.lib: Unresolved mime type "image/x-mng" org.kde.kdegraphics.gwenview.lib: Unresolved raw mime type "image/x-nikon-nrw" org.kde.kdegraphics.gwenview.lib: Unresolved raw mime type "image/x-samsung-srw" terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): basic_string::at: __n (which is 19) >= this->size() (which is 19) KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = gwenview path = /usr/bin pid = 15230 KCrash: Arguments: /usr/bin/gwenview DSCN1657.JPG KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/drkonqi [1]+ Stopped gwenview DSCN1657.JPG [gmllaptop]: fg gwenview DSCN1657.JPG QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 8 and type 'Read', disabling...

Steps to reproduce: * Make a test installation of Kubuntu 21.04 in VirtualBox * Install all updates * Install darktable * Copy one of the images in /usr/share/wallpapers (or any other image) to your home directory and open it with darktable * Within darktable, export a copy of the image (no need to do any actual modifications) * Try to open that copy with Gwenview. Gwenview will crash. I'm attaching a crash report hinting that this is related to exiv2. Temporary workaround: If I downgrade libexiv2-27 to 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.4, Gwenview doesn't crash, so it seems the crash is related to changes in 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.5. I don't know if the underlying cause is actually some bug in exiv2, Gwenview or darktable.
