[digiKam-users] HTML galleries does not include .heic (HEIF) images?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Maik,

Just a note: recent Qt5 must have HEIF support for reading, of course
if HEIF support is enable at compile time of Qt package by Linux
distro.

But i'm agree, using DImg in place in this plugin will solve
definitively this problem.

Thomas, Please report this problem as a remember report in digiKam
bugzilla, we will fix it when time permit

Thanks in advance
