Support HEIC (heif) format on MacOS

[hvdwolf]

Asked in issue #34 as secondary question: support for HEIC format as preview in the tool on MacOS.

To be investigated.

[hvdwolf]

MacOS command line tool sips can convert heic to something else, as of High Sierra. That can be used to create a preview.

sips -s format jpeg -Z 160 test.heic --out test.jpg

FYI
in Catalina 10.15.5 this command work fine
[sips -s format jpeg -Z 160 test.heic --out test.jpg]

Tried 1.4.2. It still didn't show the heic picture.

More details:

If I only load one HEIC picture, the thumbnail doesn't render.
If I load one HEIC with other renderable pictures, the HEIC just shows the thumbnail of the picture right before that.

That's a pity. I am now working on the logging to be able to get good logs for troubleshooting. Harry Op di 4 aug. 2020 om 18:42 schreef ggbalcal <notifications@github.com>:

I can't see the images in your mail. Do you mean: image-01.heic image-02.jpg does not show heic preview. But image-01.jpg image-02.heic does show the image? Harry Op wo 5 aug. 2020 om 07:37 schreef martingggg <notifications@github.com>:

I tried to send you the attachment... but with the new version you sent me via mega, it's already obsolete so it doesn't make sense anymore Martin GERSBACH Responsable de Operaciones mg@museosabiertos.org www.museosabiertos.org El mié., 5 ago. 2020 a las 15:51, Martin GERSBACH (<mg@museosabiertos.org>) escribió:

Exactly, But now I see more curious problems!

heic thumbnails and full screen / full size view are now supported using sips as converting engine. Unfortunately it is not really fast (I am now on MacOS Catalina and could finally test myself and make it work).

To be released in v 1.6.3
