Well, adding the magic bytes "ftypavif" as a supported file type to the HEIF
loader would be no problem. However, in digiKam the respective image loader
decides which mime type it is. Here we would then store the AVIF file in
digiKam as a HEIF file in the DB. So we would have to create another workaround
so that this image is treated as an AVIF mime type. Sorry, we should definitely
make a clear separation of the image loaders here. I already wrote that without
the KImageFormat plugins you cannot load many other modern formats (WebP, JXL,
etc.).
