What happened in kimageformats 5.99? Qt Raw pluging support was implemented.
That broke kdcraw pipeline in gwenview, which  has been 'fixed' by forcing
gwenview to use the Qt RAw plugin as well, which works with the small caveat
that it is by orders of magnitude slower, than what was before, rendering
gwenview virtually unsable in some use cases (such as crawling through a folder
with large number of raw files, which is very common situation everytime one
comes home from a shoot). I suppose, kimageformats Qt Raw plugin code shall be
reviewed and fixed so it doesn't break code in gwenview that does not utilize
it.
