Plugins and Addons

[Roger27]

I'm hesitating to create a new thread but...
Plugin and linux.
Ok, Linux is GPL, not LGPL or something like that, and that's the reason why it is not possible to put heic in xnviewmp linux.

Just curious.
If I take a look at the plugin in XnviewMP plugin, I get links to somethingblabla.so stuff.
I have somewhere on my system some "libheif.so.something".
Let's say I put a link or a copy of libheif.so.something in /opt/XnView/Plugins/, is my computer going to explode ? Or Xnview being able to use heic?
-edit- : I gonna try
Edit : I tried but nothings happen. Don't even know if xnview aknowledge if the plugin is there. Maybe I should first read how to create xnview plugin for linux...?

XnView MP on linux supports HEIC if libheif is installed

It's important to exercise caution when installing plugins and addons, especially from unofficial sources, as they can pose security risks. Always download and install plugins or addons from trusted and reputable sources to ensure the safety and reliability of your software.
Thank you.
