Description David Chmelik 2022-11-01 02:37:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
Today I found out (downloading images) .AVIF is a new (2019) image/video format meeting International Standards Organization (ISO) and other specifications, and has better compression than most/all other formats, so should KDE support it for things like file managers & image viewers (or general library that would work for all)?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to view/open an .AVIF in a file manager or image viewer/editor.

OBSERVED RESULT
.AVIF seems currently unsupported.

EXPECTED RESULT
Consider programming .AVIF support.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
UNIX/GNU/Linux/KDE Plasma: FreeBSD UNIX 13.1, Slackware64 15+current & KDE Neon 20.04 GNU/Linuxes
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
X11.  I can later possibly also test NetBSD, maybe DragonFlyBSD.

Have you installed kimageformats?
Comment 2 David Chmelik 2022-11-01 03:45:37 UTC 
Slackware: kimageformats-5.99.0-x86_64-1
Neon: updated this month, but forgot how to check package

Make sure you have kimageformats installed and that your distro enables libavif support for it.
