Bug#981538: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin: supported mimetypes are not extended with additional gdk-pixbuf loader

[Norbert Lange]

Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin
Version: 2.42.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nolange79 at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I was not getting thumbnails for heic/heif files.

I would expect that installing the heif-gdk-pixbuf should
be enough to enable support, but it needed editing the file
/usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer,
and adding the image/heif Mimetype.

Naturally this change will be lost everytime this package
will be upgraded.

I'd like a clean solution for this issue.

Norbert
