Qimgv unable to open .kra files

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

Qimgv isn’t opening krita files, which it could in ubuntu and manjaro. The file extension is kra, and they’re pretty similar to oras- just a zip with files in it.

Here’s a kra file if anyone wants to check in their setups

Reboot and try again.

Briefly tested in a VM, qimgv-git (chaotic-aur) and qimgv-qt6-kde-git (AUR) works w/o any issues:

Little off topic tip: KDE’s gwenview can also open *.kra files.

btw: it is not a good idea to test unknown files from strangers on a productive machine. For this you should use an isolated VM.

worked on Kde :wink:

thanks for the hint but this is my playing machine so for my really other important stuff my old lappi on xfce work fine and another pc is in building finish in few days so im okay with it and i know what you mean with stranger files :wink:

Oh, found the issue, qimgv was missing kimageformats. There’s two distinct packages for it (Regular and -5) but only the first one works.

It would be nice if you could clarify the whole thing.

There is no kritaimageformats package, neither in the official repos nor in the AUR.

Do you mean kimageformats or qt6-imageformats? If so, both packages are preinstalled on all Garuda KDE spins (except Garuda KDE lite), so qimgv OOTB works without issues.

Or did you install the old QT5 version of qimgv from the AUR, and had to install kimageformats5 afterwards (because then it works)?

8

Kimageformats yeah, it was 3 am.

And well, wasn’t installed for me. Only kimageformats5.

The point was to mark the correct post as a solution so that future help seekers with the same/similar issue can find a possible solution here.

That’s why I changed the marked solution to your last post.

Thanks for the feedback. :slight_smile:
