Upon importing any JPEG-XL (JXL) image, I am asked to transcode them into an edit-friendly format, which does not occur with other image formats such as PNG. When choosing any of the available options, the following error occurs and I am unable to import JPEG-XL images into my project:
libjxl is installed on my system, and JPEG-XL files open in other applications.
You need qt-image support for jxl, install kimageformats.
Thank you. Installing kimageformats with JPEG-XL support fixed the issue.
Note that the package name varies. On Fedora for example, look to install one or both:
kf6-kimageformats
kf5-kimageformats
On Gentoo Linux, the package name is “kde-frameworks/kimageformats”. The USE-flag “jpegxl” must be enabled.
