Description Wilms 2023-07-17 00:35:19 UTC

When one opens a .heic image (e.g. https://github.com/dsoprea/heic-exif-samples/blob/master/image1.heic) in GIMP 2.10.34, it shows the following error message:

Opening '/home/alexander/Downloads/image1.heic' failed: Unknown file type

Installing libheif1 from packman fixed the issues with Dolphin, Gwenview and GIMP. Cf.

Comment 2 Andreas Schneider 2024-03-07 14:45:58 UTC

libheif from openSUSE only includes AVIF support. For patented HEVC codec support you need libheif1 from Packman.
