Looks like there is a new image format in town and we need the libheif and
libde265 libraries in order to read it according to the gimp plugin [1]. The
plugin docs say it should be included by default now in gimp but the gimp on
my f29 system says it can't read the file. This is probably because we don't
have the underlying libraries in Fedora.
They would have to be provided through rpmfusion. I thought I saw a
comment a while back that getting the libraries in was being worked
on, but I could be mistaken.
Is there a license/patent problem? Debian has libheif in the regular
channels, but I guess as it uses a video codec it may have a patent
problem.
The problem will probably be libde265 (which implements HEVC) rather
than libheif (which implements a container file format).
