XnView Software

XnView: MP 0.98.4
OS: Linux 64bit
I'm experiencing a bug in which the AVIF and JPEG XL formats do not appear in the About/Formats menu, or in the "Save as" menu when saving a file.

currently the plugin exists only on Windows

Hi,

I' using Debian Linux 11 (Bullseye, 64 bit) and I just upgraded XnView MP to 0.99.6: is AVIF still unsupported on Linux? I have a growing number of AVIF images and cannot open them (I don't have the need to save them, just reading/viewing is currently necessary). It's also not listet in "About XnView MP" -> "Formats".

If it's still not supported: are there plans to support this format in the Linux version too?

Thanks and kind regards

yes but don't know when yet

Great, thank you Pierre.

Hi Pierre,

one year later I just downloaded version 1.4.2 but it seems that AVIF is still unsupported on Linux. Are there any news when the plugin will be available?

Thanks and kind regards

AVIF in reading will be supported with libheif in next version

Hi Pierre,

that is good news - thank you very much for the update.

Kind regards
