[digikam] [Bug 498650] avif file fails to load, but loads after renaming the same file to `.heif`
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 --- Comment #13 from Maik Qualmann --- Well, adding the magic bytes "ftypavif" as a supported file type to the HEIF loader would be no problem. However, in digiKam the respective image loader decides which mime type it is. Here we would then store the AVIF file in digiKam as a HEIF file in the DB. So we would have to create another workaround so that this image is treated as an AVIF mime type. Sorry, we should definitely make a clear separation of the image loaders here. I already wrote that without the KImageFormat plugins you cannot load many other modern formats (WebP, JXL, etc.). Maik -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 --- Comment #12 from Yuxuan Shui --- I do want to understand your position here. Is the problem here that you don't want to have multiple plugins supporting the same format? So you don't have to think about plugin priorities, etc.? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 --- Comment #11 from Yuxuan Shui --- I don't get this argument? If I don't have the avif plugin installed, I don't get avif support either. OTOH if I do have an avif capable libheif installed and digikam is not using it to loader avif files, that's wasted potential. I don't understand why digikam can't at least try loading avif files with libheif. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 --- Comment #10 from [email protected] --- As i already say, if libheif is not present in a Linux distro, you will lost HEIF and AVIF support. There is no restriction with AVIF plugin. So 2 separate loaders is better. Gilles Caulier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 --- Comment #9 from Yuxuan Shui --- in that case, can the internal libheif based loader at least try loading the avif file? if libheif isn't compiled with avif support, then fine, we give up. it couldn't hurt to at least try? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

By chance your libheif is compiled with avif support (optional) and libheif is able to extract the data. heif and avif are handled by 2 separated plugins. Some linux distro ban libheif due to patents stuff... Gilles Caulier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It's just curious that even without the plugins, `.avif` files _can_ be loaded as long as they are named `.heif`. Why leave this capability on the table if it works? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 Maik Qualmann changed: What|Removed |Added CC||[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Maik Qualmann --- digiKam also checks the magic bytes, e.g. for HEIF images: if ( (memcmp(&header.data()[4], "ftypheic", 8) == 0) || (memcmp(&header.data()[4], "ftypheix", 8) == 0) || (memcmp(&header.data()[4], "ftypmif1", 8) == 0) ) Unfortunately your log is too short and does not contain the magic bytes check. Another reason could be that you do not have the KImageFormat plugins installed. Please provide the file. Maik -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The work around to rename file force digiKam to use the KImageIO plugin to load image through QImage.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498650 --- Comment #1 from Yuxuan Shui --- I suspect this is because dimg's heif loader only checks the file extensions for `.heif`... and I don't have other image loader plugins installed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
