In konqueror, gif's and tif's have preview and filename.extension, jpg's only 
have fielname.extension. When I mouseover a jpg, the details messagebox pops 
up but there is no preview in the message box as is the case for gif's and 
tif's

Yes, kviw, kuickshow, gimp. Embedded tab was set to show file in embedded 
viewer and had nothuing in service preference order. I tried changing it to 
same settings as gif and tiff but situation remained the same.

Out put and comments below. Everything is fine in xpaint and gimp. I don't 
have anything else on board except kde aps. There are some error messages 
about /etc/exports. Don't know why. I am running nfs to share time shifted 
dvb-t programs with my daughter but the first time I had this jpg problem I 
was not.

rick at rick:~$ kview test.jpg
QMetaObject::findSignal:KViewViewer: Conflict with 
KImageViewer::Viewer::imageOpened(const KURL&)
QMetaObject::findSignal:KViewViewer: Conflict with 
KImageViewer::Viewer::imageOpened(const KURL&)
kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle 

There was no image displayed when kview was opened from konsole. The  file 
browser in kview does not display an camera icon fior jpg's but does for gifs 
and tifs. Kview will open a jpeg when selected in its file browser. It will 
open gifs and tifs from konsole.

rick at rick:~$ kuickshow test.jpg
kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/etc/exports'

There was no image displayed in kuickshow when it was run from konsole. 
Kuickshow opened into a full window file browser. It will open gifs and tifs
from konsole. In the file browser jpg's don't show up but they can be seen 
without icon from File | Open File and every time I go to Open File I'll get 
a couple of these messages in konsole "kuickshow: WARNING: Pixmap not found 
for mimetype application/x-crossover-jpg
"

rick at rick:~$ kolourpaint test.jpg

Kolourpaint does not display a jpg when called from konsole nor does konsole 
display any error messages. Jpg iles are not even recognised in kolourpaint 
filebrowser. When I type in a filename.jpg I just get a message saying file 
could not be opened.

rick at rick:~$ kimagemapeditor
kimagemapeditor: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype 
application/x-crossover-jpg
kimagemapeditor: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype 
application/x-crossover-jpg
kimagemapeditor: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype 
application/x-crossover-jpg
kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/etc/exports'

Jpg's are identified and can be opened in kimagemapeditor from Open File but 
it but does not display image icon.
