At least on my computer, I think the source of the problem is not in
GIMP, because it also effects other viewers and even imgmagick.
I have a bash script for mass conversion of jpg to heic. This shell
script uses "heif-enc" and after the upgrade to Lubuntu 23.10, it's
still working like before.
However, when I want to use imgmagick to display the heic file, it's not
working.
display test.heic
=> nothing is happening. Imgmagick doesn't show the file. The same behaviour
for gThumb, Geeqie, LXimage, GIMP
Only Eye of Mate (EOM) succeeds in displaying the photo. I think the
interesting question would be: How is EOM different to these other graphics
programs?
I suspect that EOM has built-in HEIC support while the others are using the
generic library.
I also suspect that somehow the HEIC file type is not properly
registered any more after the upgrade to Lubuntu 23.10
