heic support #69

Open sh4des opened 5 years ago

sh4des commented 5 years ago

Any chance we can get support for .heic format images? This is the format that apple saves photos as natively now

Er, any example image? Never saw this format and it seems its not well supported (yet). Sources: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45460611/convert-heif-heic-to-jpeg-on-a-server

There seem to be linux libs, but I can't see a decent example to turn it in to a thumbnail.

Unfortunately its the new format all iOS devices save photos as now. Would love to see support.

I can see upvotes so it seems like its something that would make sense to add in the future. If anyone can point me to example files, directions how to open in linux that would help.

I’m not sure of a way to open them on Linux. I can send an example file to you, what’s the easiest way for you to receive it?

imagemagick supports heic/heif now. as a option for converting to JPEG for display in HTML,
Nokia provides a open source javascript library for displaying HEIC images also https://github.com/nokiatech/heif/wiki/IV.-HEIF-Reader-JavaScript-Implementation
