Dear Maintainer,
Since 2019 some smartphone and camera vendors support HEIC
images, and already set this format as default.
In debian testing (/bullseye) support of that image-format is lacking.
- EyeOfGnome needs heif-gdk-pixbuf to decode pictures
- An extra heif-thumbnailer is needed.
Some related discussion is in Bug#981538.
Those formats will only get more popular,
and finding the relation HEIC -> HEIF and the necessary
packages involved is not obvious.
For a good desktop experience, good out of the box support
would be welcome.
Kind regards,
Norbert
