Is anyone having issues with Gwenview crashing when trying to open an image be it RAW or JPEG?
If you run it from a terminal - does it return any useful messages?

Good point. This is what I get both on my laptop and desktop.

Have done so now. You will have to excuse me as I’m a bit new to this.

No problem!
It’s just that the text being formatted make it somewhat easier on the eyes.
Thanks for your attention and good luck on troubleshooting and resolving the issue!

Hasn’t crashed on me yet in the jpg department.

Sorry, I meant PNG and Raw
Just tried a few png’s on my end and those still haven’t caused it to crash. Sorry to be of no help.
Does it happen with all image files of those types, or only with specific files?
How many did you try?
Was there any file successfully opened?
Did you try with another image viewer?
Is your system partially updated?
If your locale is not English, does it happen with LANG=en gwenview <image.file> ?
Can you post a link to one or more of the files that is crashing for you (preferably in a zip or other archive container)?
Thanks all.
Something weird is going on. All my image files open OK in showfoto and Digikam.
The same files are opening fine with Gwenview in opensuse tumbleweed and KDE Neon.
I am going to do complete fresh install later to see if that will cure things. But in the mean time I have set image files to open in Showfoto which I prefer to be honest. I like Gwenview for quick look at images.

Update.
Done fresh install and all is well now. Gwenview is opening all image files without issue.
I tried to get to the bottom of it without having to reinstall but failed.
