[digiKam-users] Thumbnails are in Progessive Graphics File (PGF)

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Code is restructured in fact. All image loader are now plugin :

https://invent.kde.org/kde/digikam/tree/master/core/dplugins/dimg/pgf

PGF still used to store thumbnails in database, and there is no better eq
to change this. HEIF is slow, pattented to write data (not to read) and
WEBP has possible patents with Google stuff.

Other point, PGF library is very small compared to HEIF or WEBP. So, PGF is
perfect. Library is there in digiKam core :

Best
