It gets a little weirder: Turns out it wasn't crashing, it was starting up, but really REALLY slowly, as in taking ~24 hours to get the window to show. I have a 10K+ wallpaper directory from which random wallpapers are shown. Sometimes there is a wallpaper in there that I want to delete or copy, and "open wallpaper" and then gwenview opens it and I do my thing. I tried opening wallpapers multiple times on a Wednesday morning, nothing happened. I also started a few by hand from consoles, and for at least a minute there was no text output at all on the command line (normally there are always a bunch of warnings, gwenview can be quite chatty when run from the command line) until I CTRL-C'd the process. I multiple times SIGKILLED all gwenview processes, and tried again to open wallpapers from the desktop, but nothing happened. I continued working, forgetting all about the started gwenview processes. Then, Thursday afternoon whilst working, all of the sudden, gwenview pops up some 10x out of no-where with the different wallpapers I requested to open at the end of the day before The processes were there the entire time, presumably blocked. Right when those wallpapers showed, gwenview proceeded to work as normal again. The only thing I can imagine it was blocking on was perhaps an NFS drive that I have that works over a VPN that sometimes is off, so NFS access might hang. Could that be related into why it wasn't starting up? If that is the case, is there a way to have gwenview either time out on such a thing, or at least print something on the command line / logs like "Waiting for drive data to arrive" or something? Mind you: The wallpaper files themselves are NOT on the NFS drive, maybe I used gwenview for an image on the NFS drive before in the past, and gwenview was trying to load the history list of images? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
