--- Comment #20 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- HEIF support is now managed by the new digiKam ImageMagick loader. By this way, we will support plenty new image formats. The advantage to use Image Magick instead the QImageLoader is the 16 bits color depth support that digiKam can handle natively since more than 12 years now. Other point is the advanced multipage support with Heif. ImageMagick support this container, even if digiKam is not yet able to choose the image in set. ImageMagick HEIF writing is fully supported, in opposite than QImageLoader which is basic. There is also a identify mode avaialble in ImageMagick to preload image properties without to decode whole image. This is used while image scanning with database. HEIF integration is done in Linux AppImage bundle for the moment, not yet in Windows and MacOS. Under these OS, MXE and MAcports do not inclide HEIF codec due to patents problem. We need to install HEIF codecs before to compile ImageMagick. Gilles Caulier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
