@seb128: The bug was fixed upstream for GNOME 3.36.2. Would it be possible for you to pull the change into Ubuntu's package so that it's available for the 20.04 release? It looks like a pretty small change to me.

In Ubuntu 20.04 eog just shows the message "Could not load image <filename>. Unrecognized image file format". The HEIF gdk-pixbuf loader itself seems to work correctly, because gcpicview is able to display HEIF images even on Ubuntu 20.04. It's just eog that doesn't seem to use the loader anymore. I attached an example file 2020-04-11-14-45-361180.heic. This command works and displays the file: gpicview 2020-04-11-14-45-361180.heic This command shows the error message mentioned above: eog 2020-04-11-14-45-361180.heic Installed versions: eog: Installed: 3.36.1-1 Candidate: 3.36.1-1 Version table: *** 3.36.1-1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status heif-gdk-pixbuf: Installed: 1.6.1-1build1 Candidate: 1.6.1-1build1 Version table: *** 1.6.1-1build1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status libheif1: Installed: 1.6.1-1build1 Candidate: 1.6.1-1build1 Version table: *** 1.6.1-1build1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/1873424/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
