SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
I am able to open HEIF/HEIC images with gwenview when I open it in the distributed by Ubuntu (although, that version seems  to crash whenever opened).  However, when I try and open a HEIF/HEIC image with the version installed via Flatpak, it returns "Loading <image name> failed Gwenview cannot display documents of type image/heif"

If I try and open a HEIF/HEIC image with the version installed via Snap, it returns "Loading <image name> failed"


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Install Gwenviw from either Snap or Flatpak
2. Open HEIF/HEIF image 


OBSERVED RESULT
Does not display image. If installed via Flatpak, shows the following:
"Loading <image name> 
failed Gwenview cannot display documents of type image/heif"

Or for Snap:
 "Loading <image name> failed"

EXPECTED RESULT
Image should be displayed.

Hi. Could you tell me, what size have your images? I reported similar bug (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482195) and i I think, problem is related to size of file. I talk about that with people from Internet and told me, that HEIF/HEIC images taken by108mpx camera, can't be opened with gwenview.
