Plans to support png and other file extensions? #27

I am trying to use this as a live photo frame using a folder synced with google photos, but not all of the images are jpg. Some are png or HEIF/HEIC. Any plans to cover those kinds of file types (or guidance of where to make edits to allow for this)? Even just png would be nice.

I think supporting PNG should be as easy as allowing the file extension here and here I don't have any heif or heic example files, but based on some short research it seems they are not by default supported by QT QPixmaps. It's probably possible using this third party plugin

PNG is supported with version 0.9.8. I will close this issue since supporting HEIF/HEIC seems not to be easily achievable. You may want to convert your images to PNG before giving them to slide (imagemagick seems to be capable of doing that).
