HEIC Support - iPhone Pictures #2

Closed Tobix99 closed 2 years ago

Tobix99 commented 4 years ago

Hey,

is it possible to easily add a HEIC support for comparision? If I've time I can also look into it, but tight now I have to study for my exams.

Does imagemagick even support HEIC?

jhnc commented 4 years ago

findimagedupes uses graphicsmagick, not imagemagick, and the graphicsmagick maintainer appears uninterested in supporting HEIC: https://sourceforge.net/p/graphicsmagick/discussion/250738/thread/3082583888/

imagemagick version 7 seems to support HEIC. Unfortunately, at this time, distributions seem mostly to include version 6 (without HEIC support). If version 7 becomes readily available, I may consider switching findimagedupes to use it instead of graphicsmagick.

There have been some updates in the referenced thread at Sourceforge

@tuomaz Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully HEIC support is coming to graphicsmagick :)

jhnc commented 2 years ago

Closing. (sufficiently recent) graphicsmagick can now be built to support HEIC.
