("[" or "]")
Classification: Applications
Product: gwenview
Version First 25.04.3
Reported In:

SUMMARY
Gwenview automatically jumps to the first image when opening files from paths
containing square brackets ("[" or "]")
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a folder containing multiple images, with square brackets in its path
(e.g. /home/user/Pictures/[Test])
2. Open Dolphin file manager and navigate to this folder
3. Click to open any image (not the first one) via Gwenview
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Gwenview briefly shows the selected image, then immediately auto-jumps to
the first image in the folder
2. Issue occurs consistently when path contains either "[" or "]" characters
3. Normal folder paths (without square brackets) work as expected
EXPECTED RESULT
Gwenview should display the selected image and allow normal navigation through
the folder
