Bug#1100520: eog doesn't show time and date of a viewed HEIC file

[Peter Mueller]

Package: eog
Version: 43.2-1
Control: affects -1 + heif-gdk-pixbuf
Grab a heic file from somewhere, e.g., your smartphone or https://heic.digital/download-sample/soundboard.heic https://heic.digital/download-sample/soundboard.heic.  Examine its properties with exiftool to ensure that it has a timestamp.  For instance, the soundboard file has
Modify Date                     : 2024:01:21 18:27:07
Date/Time Original              : 2024:01:21 18:27:07
Create Date                     : 2024:01:21 18:27:07
Offset Time                     : +01:00
Offset Time Original            : +01:00
Sub Sec Time                    : 962
Sub Sec Time Original           : 962
Sub Sec Time Digitized          : 962
Time Stamp                      : 2024:01:21 18:27:07.962+01:00
Create Date                     : 2024:01:21 18:27:07.962
Date/Time Original              : 2024:01:21 18:27:07.962+01:00
Modify Date                     : 2024:01:21 18:27:07.962+01:00
Open the file with eog. Observe that in the properties pane, there is nothing to the right of “Date” and “Time”.
We expect, on the contrary, that the fields are properly filled. E.g., for the soundboard file we should see January 21, 2024, and 18:27:07.  Of course, in the language and formatting specified by your locale.
