--- Comment #2 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com ---
Maik,

For info, the most updated upstream fril from Exiv2 about HEIf support is this
one :

https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/978

How did you interpret the last comment from this thread ? HEIF will be
supported with Exiv2 0.27.3 or not ?

I'm following all discussions from Exiv2 team about HEIF support, and it's
become i real mess... They talk about patents problem where no problem exists
with HEIF format. Only encoding image with H265 codec is patented (this is why
i don't include libx265 source code in HEIF dplugin. HEIF format is open,
decoding h265 is not patented at all. extracting metadata is not a problem
too..

For me HEIF support is a big major feature to support and improve in digiKam.

Gilles
