[digiKam-users] Problem dispaying several heic pictures

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Sebastian,

It would be instructive to know the debug trace printed on the console
when digiKam ran and failed to import these HEIF files.

Please follow the instructions from this page :

> Simply creating a thumbnail and opening the picture in the editor fails permanently.
