AVIF support
Browsers support AVIF, XnView MP should too.
Re: AVIF support
Hello Pierre, how can I enable AVIF support for XnViewMP in Linux?
XnViewMP is not able to recognize this format, and AVIF (as well as HEIF) are not even listed by the XnViewMP app among supported formats either for reading or writing even in Linux environments where I can enable AVIF support for other image browsers like Gvenview. It applies to XnViewMP distributed in both Debian and AppImage packages (downloaded from XnView.com websites).
It's pity because XnView is a great piece of software that I find useful especially for batch conversions to latest space-efficient image formats like AVIF and HEIF. Thank you for your answer and for your work on XnView!

Re: AVIF support for Linux
Same question here: AVIF support in .deb distribution for x64 Linux (v1.4.5) is missing.
Re: AVIF support
I can confirm that AVIF still seems unsupported in XnView MP 1.8.2 for Linux 64-bit, namely in DEB, TGZ and AppImage. The AVIF format is not shown in the save dialogue. I use Debian 12 (Bookworm). However, it works in the Windows version.

Uhm, no, I hadn’t … But after installing it, everything works fine. Thanks for your support!
