I recently upgraded from an iphone XS to an iphone 16. HEIC images from my iphone XS imported and displayed as expected in digikam (version 8.4.0). However, when I import HEIC images from my iphone 16, they do not display in digikam - instead of a thumbnail image I get a green icon. There has been no change in the setup of my installed version of digikam since I upgraded my phone. There is metadata with each image - it knows the image is HEIC, that it came from an iphone 16 etc. Is there an incompatibility between iphone 16 images and digikam, or am I missing an essential plug-in? Thanks.
I found this.
If he didn’t change anything to digikam… For the sake of it I installed the flatpak version and it displays heic just fine. Are the heif-thumbnailers and libheif still installed?
8.4.0
I’ve just upgraded to version 8.5 of Digikam on Apple silicon, and the problem has disappeared. Suggests it was probably an incompatibility between the latest iPhone HIEC format and v8.4 of Digikam.
