[Request] Add guide/thoubleshoting

[master-of-zen]

I figured out how to make it and install plugin. JPEG XL thumbnails don't show up and image viewers don't recognize it, please help)

[novomesk]

In order to activate thumbnails, it is necessary to update /usr/share/kservices5/imagethumbnail.desktop and the image/jxl mimetype (image-jxl.xml) should be installed.

In order to troubleshot I recommend to start gwenview from konsole to see various debug/error messages: gwenview testimage.jxl

Jxl animations are known not to work now because of https://gitlab.com/wg1/jpeg-xl/-/issues/87

I also use the opt parameter to configure libjxl to see libjxl's internal error messages. BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build ./ci.sh opt

[master-of-zen]

Excuse me for newby mistakes) This issue, not sure how to how to interpret it

Out of all steps only image/jxl mimetype (image-jxl.xml) should be installed. is not done, don't know how to do that. Added file association in settings manually Console

> gwenview output.jxl 
Icon theme "gnome" not found.
org.kde.kdegraphics.gwenview.lib: Unresolved mime type  "image/x-mng"
org.kde.kdegraphics.gwenview.lib: Unresolved raw mime type  "image/x-nikon-nrw"
org.kde.kdegraphics.gwenview.lib: Unresolved raw mime type  "image/x-samsung-srw"

Gwenview gui show this error

My imagethumbnail.desktop thumbnails.zip

and here file itself file.zip

Copy image-jxl.xml into the folder /usr/share/mime/packages

I use slightly modified version ( https://gitlab.com/wg1/jpeg-xl/-/issues/81 ):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
  <mime-type type="image/jxl">
    <comment>JPEG XL image</comment>
    <comment xml:lang="fr">image JPEG XL</comment>
    <magic priority="50">
      <match type="string" offset="0" value="\xFF\x0A"/>
      <match type="string" offset="0" value="\0\0\0\x0CJXL \x0D\x0A\x87\x0A"/>
    </magic>
    <glob pattern="*.jxl"/>
  </mime-type>
</mime-info>

I think you made a mistake because you registered image/jpegxl and I believe it should be image/jxl

Run update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

and try again:

done: Copy image-jxl.xml into the folder /usr/share/mime/packages changed: I think you made a mistake because you registered image/jpegxl and I believe it should be image/jxl done: Run update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Still doesn't work. same console errors

[novomesk]

I get same message when my plugin is missing or could not be loaded. I have libqjpegxl.so in /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/imageformats folder. On some systems it could be /usr/lib/qt/plugins/imageformats/ or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/imageformats

If it is there, try to go to the folder and check ldd libqjpegxl.so if all required libraries are present.

[novomesk]

OK, you found the problem! I have them installed in /usr/lib64 Try to copy or symlink it there (or maybe /usr/lib on some systems) so the libjxl and libjxl_threads will be found easily.

[master-of-zen]

Yep, it works now))
