I have the same problem with Kubuntu 7.10, gwenview 1.4.1-1ubuntu2.
The "external tools" configuration has the "Name" set to "The GIMP" and
the "Command" set to "gimp-remote -n %F". From the error message
(reported above) it looked like Gwenview was executing the "Name"
instead of the "Command". I changed the name to "LS" and it reported
the same error ("Could not find the program 'LS'"). I changed the name
to "ls" and there was no error and nothing happened. I changed the
name to "gimp-remote -n %F" and again there was no error message,
but again nothing happened. Same thing with "xterm" as a name.
None of the external tools will launch with any configuration and the error
is reported if the "Name" setting is not a command. All very odd.
It does seem like Gwenview is treating the name as a command and, at
the least, checking if it exists on the path. It does not seem to execute
it, though.
Is it possible that Gwenview launches these commands through some
sort of service that I haven't got running? Or maybe it's just a simple bug.
