--- Comment #30 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com ---
Some feedback here about my progress: I left the idea to use IM + to delegate
an external couple of libheif+libde265 to processing HEIC images.

I created a new native HEIF image loader plugin for digiKam.  It include as
well both libraries source code (libheif+libde265) as compilation rules,
linking, and install on target system are just a big pain (implemetation with
cmake is horrible).

So i just compiled the source code as it must do, as well in plugin, and oh
miracle, loading a image start to work as expected.

The HEIC support is not yet complete, as there is not yet a progress observer
and save operations are not implemented.

But i can said that HEIC are just a very good format with plenty of modern
features. This format is really the future, ready replace JPEG as well. I
understand now why Apple use this format in iDevices.

I hope to complete the new HEIC support while this week end. Please be patient.

Gilles
