The messages "Opening '[...].HEIC' failed: Unknown file type"
and "The given filename does not have any known file extension. Please enter a known file extension or select a file format from the file format list." indicate that the file-heif plug-in of GIMP hasn't registered the file type and common file name extension, so GIMP doesn't know about them. The file lists for the GIMP packages from https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/gimp shows that the plug-in is supposed to be packaged, so it seems to have been built. Could be that something is preventing it from running when GIMP starts up - this is when plug-ins are queried about e.g. what file type they are supposed to handle. When you run GIMP from a terminal window, are there any interesting error messages? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2042857 Title: Cannot handle HEIC images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/2042857/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
