exec /usr/bin/gwenview "$@"

Perfect, the patch now works, thank you very much.
Hopefully the problem will be solved, because it's an additional work to have to do this process for every installation.

you can make a workaround, create a gwenview.sh

In which folder should these *.sh files be saved?

I have a similar issue when trying to open .pdf files from within XnView. 'Error -- KIO client' appears also when I try to open a folder in file explorer or when I click on Settings > Integration > Paths > Open Config Files Location or on Settings > Integration > Paths > Open the Catalog Location.

Probably, due to the same bug, XnView doesn't see/use files in ~/.xnviewmp -- .db files in this folder were last updated on 14 July 2020. It seems that each time one opens a folder, XnView recreates thumbnails.

What would be the code for opening .pdf files in Okular and folders in Dolphin?
