[digiKam-users] recognise .hif files as heif format

[Michael Kefeder]

Thanks for the quick fix, I assume a bug-report is no longer needed?

Side-note: about the Canon R5 discussion for Lightroom, in my case it is a
Sony camera producing .HIF files, and Capture One also cannot process them,
seems like the whole industry is stuck in the past...

thanks again
 Mike
