ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I know one should not propose a solution. but the reason for the issue is clear
and so is the solution (in my simple eyes).
when qwenview is called for multi-image display with files from different
directories, it does create symlinks to these image files in a
/tmp/gwenview-subfolder. unfortunately it uses the image filename to name the
symlink. thus, if the images in the different directories have identical
filenames, the symlink is replaced over and over again and only the last from
the list prevails.
simple solution would be, to name the symlink using the full pathname (not only
the filename).
