Recognize .HEIC

[jidanni]

The photo layer ignores .heic files, even if they contain exif location data just like .jpgs.

What are HEIC files?

Currently sharing one with Vespucci gives error: photo content not found... Must convert to jpg first.

You'll need to provide a sample for testing. Prior to Android 9 there was no native support for such images, and it needs to be seen if all the necessary libraries support the format.

Currently doesn't seem to be fully supported in https://github.com/davemorrissey/subsampling-scale-image-view See https://github.com/davemorrissey/subsampling-scale-image-view/issues/559

You can append it to the issue.

I am on a little modem line and can't upload big images these months.

There's no hurry.

h.heic.gz You'll need to unzip it.
