Any plans to support .heic files (format HEIF)?

[igormcoelho]

It would be very nice to have deepin image viewer supporting .heic files, since iOS have them as default nowadays and it's awkward to manually convert them fto .jpg for a simple visualization.
Currently, only GIMP software is able to open this file, but it's not good for regular users and batches of pictures.

At present, we are still making it popular, and we have no support at present, but thank you for your suggestion

3rd party Qt image formats plugin could be used:

• https://github.com/jakar/qt-heif-image-plugin
• https://github.com/novomesk/qt-heic-image-plugin

There is also a related bug report:

• https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69212

btw I'm not 100% sure but we might have (HEVC encoding-related) patent issues to introduce such support.
