XnView Software

Did you try the above workarounds? (In reference to the "library" paths.)


The paths are good since half of my HEIC images work just fine in all ways.


No problem to view this file on linux, do you have tried 'update catalog from file'?


That's the first thing I did to try to fix it before ...

I'm having an issue with some HEIC files. I'm attaching one sample file.

This file can't be viewed in XnView. It shows up in the browser and has a thumbnail but can't be opened. It also does not show the 'date taken' timestamp in the browser, and can't be sorted by 'date taken'. But XnView sees the ...

FlatPak downloads are often not the current version, despite being listed with other formats that are the latest version...

It seems that there is no libheif.so, so try to make a symbolic link libheif.so->libheif.so.1.12.0?
