gqview crashed with SIGSEGV in g_main_context_dispatch() - Open With from konqueror

[David Pottage]

Binary package hint: gqview

Opened a folder full of image files from my digital camera using konqueror

Selected one and chose "Open with..." menu, chose gqview, which opened breefly then crashed.

If I start "gqview <filename>" on the command line it works fine.

I think the problem is the --remote (-r) option, try this:

mik@mik-home:~$ gqview --remote some.jpg
Remote GQview not running, starting...
mik@mik-home:~$

mik@mik-home:~$ gqview --debug --remote some.jpg

Ok, I find the "geeqie" image viewer. Geeqie: a fork of GQview, working fine for me.

[ubernoob (ubernoob)]

I found a workaround:
edit /usr/share/applications/gqview.desktop
and change "Exec=gqview -r %F" to "Exec=gqview %F"

That will solve the problem.
