Bug#1014345: eog: recommend heif-gdk-pixbuf

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: eog
Version: 42.2-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi.

Most new smartphones procude natively HEIC images (and only
convert to JPEG, when an option is selected to do so on
sharing).

eog cannot display these unless heif-gdk-pixbuf is installed.


Perhaps it makes sense to recommend/suggest that.
Or maybe even alternatively or in addition in some higher
level GNOME metapackage?

If the latter is choosen, then heif-thumbnailer should
perhaps also be recommended (and/or in nautilus?).


Depending on what you go for, I'd then ask the cinnamon packagers
to do the same (in their metapackages and/or nemo).


Thanks,
Chris.
