== History == Aurélien Gâteau started Gwenview using GTK but switched to Qt early in development. Gwenview was first available for K Desktop Environment 3. Later it was released as part of the KDE Software Compilation 4 with a simplified user interface, making it more suitable for quickly browsing through collection of images. It also provided a full-screen interface that can be used to display images as a slide-show. In 2014, Gwenview was ported to KDE Frameworks 5 and released as part of KDE Applications. As part of the KDE Gear, it was ported to Qt 6 and KDE Frameworks 6 in Gear 24.02
