The HEIF file input plugin in GIMP fails to recognize a HEVC-encoded HEIF image: $ file image1.heic image1.heic: ISO Media, HEIF Image HEVC Main or Main Still Picture Profile When trying to import this file in GIMP, I get an error dialog saying "Opening image1.heic failed: Unknown file type". This happens with libheif-1.15.1 with the libde265 decoder compiled as plugin (/usr/lib64/libheif/libheif-libde265.so): If I downgrade libheif to 1.13.0 (which has libde265 decoder built-in), opening the same image works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gimp-2.10.34-1 2. Install libheif-freeworld-1.15.1-5 3. Try importing a HEVC-encoded HEIF image Actual Results: Import fails with "Unknown file type". Expected Results: Image is imported successfully. I opened an upstream issue and the provided a patch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/9395 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/merge_requests/905
Still reproducible with latest build (gimp-2.10.34-5.fc39). Could you backport that patch (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/merge_requests/905) while we're waiting for 2.10.36 to be released?
It's been over a month. I will fix the issue myself if there's no response soon.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
Sorry for the late response. I'll apply the upstream patch and build updates.
