Bug ID: 461661
Summary: Kimageformats Regression Affects Wallpaper Rendering,
SDDM and Lock Screen
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kimageformats
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: alex.me...@kde.org
Reporter: kdelo...@mozej.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDE is now promoting non-libre HEVC. AVIF support has benn removed from KDE,
wich affects SDDM, wallpaper rendering and lock screen (all 3 suddeny gone from
my system). The code for libre software- AVIF had been removed, hoping that
nobody will notice deleting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add Avif wallper
2. Add SDDM Avif picture
3. Use Avif for Lock Screen
OBSERVED RESULT
Can't render, reverts back to other stock wallpapers after KDE update (update
had regression)
EXPECTED RESULT
The Avif code had to be removed on purpose. Observe the people (promoting
non-libre HEVC) and reinstate AVIF support into kdeimageformats so I do have
2.3x times smaller file to render (compared to properly made webp).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please bear in mid, that we the users faught for many months on end to ad
AV1/AVIF support to KDE(imagformats) and now someone (?) just pressed delete on
that code. Not nice :(
