--- Comment #3 from mirthost <[email protected]> ---
Gwenview uses the outdated libqtga.so (from qt6-imageformats), which fails to
handle TGA files with 1–2 channels (e.g., R/RG) commonly used in game
development for masks. The alternative implementation kimg_tga.so works
reliably, but Gwenview may switch between libraries unpredictably.

Reproducibility:

Issue occurs when opening TGA files with only 1 or 2 channels (R/RG).
Gwenview alternates between libqtga.so and kimg_tga.so, leading to unstable
behavior.
Expected Behavior:

Gwenview should consistently open TGA files of any channel configuration
(including R/RG) using the stable kimg_tga.so.

Actual Behavior:

Unpredictable crashes or failures when libqtga.so is used.
Deleting libqtga.so resolves the issue for Gwenview but causes CMake errors and
potential conflicts with other applications relying on this library.
Additional Notes:

Ensure Gwenview defaults to using kimg_tga.so.
Related packages: Gwenview, qt6-imageformats, kimg_tga (KDE).
Priority: High (blocks Gwenview's stability and may affect system-wide
dependencies via CMake errors).
