XnView Software

Thanks for fixing the reported bug with the disappearing meta data without a waring promt.

You said in your reply that "HEIC metadata are already supported on Windows". I would say that currently they are just partly supported.

Thanks for the fix - I can confirm that the missing warning message has now been fixed.

great software and so many ways to customize it. Thanks for your effort. I like the way everything worked out, but I still miss one feature to finally get rid of other solutions:
Is already a time line or even a date for full HEIC Meta Data support?
(so that it keeps the information after ...

When rotating HEIC images the warning message:
"Be careful, saving in this format will discard any existing metadata"
is not shown (as it is when you try to save as HEIC in any other way).

If one changes the rotation without ever having tried to save with xnview as an heic before
