Hello,
I'm using KDE 4.9 on Kubuntu 12.04 and when selecting the KIPI plug-in Export/ Email images Gwenview crashes. Doing the same from digiKam works fine. Even though I have the debugging symbols installed I can not get a decent backtrace for a bug report. An observation; When clicking the Plugins in the top menu the list is somewhat mixed up, Email images is found under Batch processing, not Export... All works fine in KDE 4.8.4 Regards, Teunis |

Can you please do the following?
1) Make sure your repositories are up to date, and all updates are installed. 2) Run 'kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental' 3) Paste the backtrace you do get here.

Sorry for the delay but I had trouble logging in.

The output of the kbuildsycoca4 command is fine - in virtually all cases you can ignore it.
The other two steps?

That's the thing, I have kdelibs5-dbg, gwenview-dbg and libkipi-dbg installed but the crash reporting utility say I am missing the debugging symbols.
Clicking the provided button for installation of the debugging symbols just exits.
When started from the Konsole the crash generates the following:
This is about all I can think off. |

You probably need digikam-dbg also:

A good idea sumski but after installation it still complains about missing packages with debugging info and libraries for:
/usr/bin/gwenview |

Can you paste it somewhere? The backtrace? I've seen drKonqi confused many times about debug symbols quality.

OK, after a restart gwenview hangs at the window E-mailing pictures, resizing mypic.jpg... but without crashing.
It seems it's now gdb that crashes, is this data copied from the Konsole maybe of use?

What about backtrace that displays in drkonqi?

Sorry I'm new to using these debugging tools, how do I access this drkonqi backtrace?
I thought it was the Crash handler that comes up after a crash but when starting gwenview from the gdb prompt it does not crash, it only hangs. |

When crash handler appears, just click on 'Developer Information', and wait while it generates backtrace.
EDIT: It looks like this: Regarding mixing of menus, i think this is because digikam is compiled against libkipi from KDE 4.8 |

Thanks for the screen shot.
Because if I start gwenview in debug mode it hangs at the little window to show the progress of resizing the picture I send to the mail client and so it never gets to the drkonqi crash reporting. I might have a catch-22 here, at a next opportunity I'll try to re-install. Edit/ additional info: This Kipi function Export to E-mail does work from DigiKam. |

Hmm, it's only possible to uninstall Gwenview when you accept that the whole KDE desktop is taken with it.
So I limited my test to reinstalling KIPI, including removing all traces of it before reinstalling but it has not fixed my issue. As the issue is only happening on my experimental install with KDE4.9 but not on the stable install with KDE4.8.5 I'll leave things till I do a fresh install. |

Based upon it working in Digikam, this could be caused by issues in the Kipi support in Gwenview - which is possibly indicated by the "KIPI::Interface::progressThumbnailChanged" message you are seeing.
