Hello All,
KDE has lost its ability to open or preview any .jpg/.jpeg file on my system. All other graphics formats work just fine. I upgraded from suse 10.0 to suse 10.1 and from kde 3.5.1 to kde 3.5.3, but the issue still persists. No error messages are given, even when starting a kde graphics program, such as kuickshow, from the command line. This doesn't seem to be a graphics library or permissions issue because any other user account on my computer can open .jpg's with kuickshow (or any other kde program) just fine. Since this problem only affects my user account, probably something has gotten hosed in my .kde configuration directory. I renamed some of my .jpg files to .gif, and magically those images could be viewed. So, Im thinking something with the mimetypes is messed up. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this?
