Gwenview backtrace
SUMMARY
After updating to libexiv2-27, gwenview now crashes when trying to load an
image. Gwenview can be run directly, as long as the root directory doesn't
contain images. After navigating to a folder with images, and once thumbnails
start to be generated, it crashes. I have a folder with 3 PNGs in it (scanned
from my scanner) all between 18-30 MB each. I have also tried to open small
jpg files (under 100 KB) and it crashes instantly.
At first I wasn't sure that libexiv was the issue. But I have another Kubuntu
laptop with the same version of Gwenview and everything worked fine. On this
other laptop, an update for libexiv was available. I did the update, and
didn't even have to restart. My next run of Gwenview crashed exactly the same
as my first laptop.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start with Gwenview v23.08.5
2. update libexiv to 2.27
3. open any image file
OBSERVED RESULT
It crashes for me every time. I've opened small jpg files (under 100 KB) and
large png files (over 30 MB) and it crashes for all of them now.
EXPECTED RESULT
Image files should open normally, and thumbnail generation shouldn't crash
gwenview.
