One thing you can try is to open lib/mimetypeutils.cpp, go to the
mimeTypeKind() function, and move the if which returns KIND_DIR and
KIND_ARCHIVE to the end of the function.

But I do not understand why Gwenview would consider image/x-hdr to be an
archive. Even if it's the wrong mimetype, it's an image mimetype, so it
should return KIND_RASTER_IMAGE.

In case you are still stuck with that problem, you can try to copy the
x-hdr desktop file to the appropriate subdir of your .kde folder and
remove the "*.pic" from it. This should overload the system one.
