Failure when saving heic / heif format images on Windows 10 x64
System:
- Windows 10 x64, Build 1909
- Gimp 2.10.14
Issue: Cannot save an image in heic/heif format. When you open an image any format, and select "Save As" and select the heic/heif format, it fails and you get an error dialog "Failed to save [image]."
Relevant background info:
- Windows built-in Paint app now allows saving files in .heic format. This works on my machine.
- Digikam 7.0 beta had the same issue as Gimp (I believe it's using the same library). I reported the issue to the developers of Digikam, they did not fix the underlying OSS library, but they built a workaround into Digikam which seems to work.
Digikam bug for the same issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415719
