SUMMARY Gwenview does not support the .HEIC image format. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a .heic image file. 2. Try to open in Gwenview 3. Get error message. OBSERVED RESULT - Unable to open/view image. - Get error message: "Loading 'image-name.heic' failed. Gwenview cannot display dicuments of this type image/heif." EXPECTED RESULT - Be able to open and view image. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 Kernel Version: 5.7.2-050702-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 31,3 GiB of RAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION They also don't display thumbnails in Dolhpin. I've tried installing the HEIF packages for Ubuntu 20.04, but this did not affect Gwenview's ability to display the image files § sudo apt install heif-gdk-pixbuf I see there are similar bugs/reports opened for digiKam, but thought I'd make one for Gwenview too. If this is already in the works, just close this.
There's a patch for this! https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kimageformats/-/merge_requests/1
Great stuff! Then I shall be awaiting its arrival in the update channel.
