Do you have the "heic" file type extension in the list of allowed extensions?

Ok, I found something :-)

vi ./www/local/config/config.inc.php

modified this:
// picture_ext : file extensions for picture file, must be a subset of
// file_ext
$conf['picture_ext'] = array('jpg','jpeg','png','gif', 'heic');

now it seems to pick something up.

I checked the commit on GitHub for HEIC support and found it had to be added here:

// file_ext : file extensions (case sensitive) authorized
$conf['file_ext'] = array_merge(
  $conf['picture_ext'],
  array('tiff', 'tif', 'mpg','zip','avi','mp3','ogg','pdf','svg','heic')
  );

However I see that this is related to the upload handler..
I am syncing from an existing structure, would that also allow HEIC?

Ok, I am up and running now :-)

I have installed 14b3 and see the proper config files. But...

I didn't see the 'heic' in the upload photos, just this: Allowed file types: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp

When I edit 'config_default.inc.php' and add 'heic' behind webp, like this:

// picture_ext : file extensions for picture file, must be a subset of
// file_ext
$conf['picture_ext'] = array('jpg','jpeg','png','gif','webp','heic');



it does upload, but that's it.. doesn't display

I tried this version for the support of HEIC files. It was able to sync the HEIC files but no representatives were generated. Is any third-party HEIC library required?

We need more details here to understand what's wrong.

First, about the way Piwigo should be configure to accept HEIC files. We have added the "heic" extension in the default $conf['file_ext'] array. To have it enabled in the upload form, you need to add in your local configuration file (with plugin LocalFiles Editor) :

<?php
$conf['upload_form_all_types'] = true;
?>

Now about the missing preview (or pwg_representative)...

1) what is your image library? Piwigo tells you on page [Administration > Tools > Maintenance > tab Environment]

2) in your log file (see directory _data/logs) you must have a line like this one:

[2023-11-18 16:41:19]   [INFO]  upload_file_heic, exec = convert -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85 -interlace JPEG -colorspace sRGB -auto-orient +repage -strip -resize "3000x1863>" "/home/plg/git/Piwigo/upload/2023/11/18/20231118164119-bbcb2321.heic" "././upload/2023/11/18/pwg_representative/20231118164119-bbcb2321.jpg" 2>&1

You may have a muted error when executing this command line. So it would be useful to run it manually to get the exact error. Take the "convert ..." without the ending "2>&1" :

convert -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85 -interlace JPEG -colorspace sRGB -auto-orient +repage -strip -resize "3000x1863>" "/home/plg/git/Piwigo/upload/2023/11/18/20231118164119-bbcb2321.heic" "././upload/2023/11/18/pwg_representative/20231118164119-bbcb2321.jpg"

run it and tell us what the command line output says.

Hi @plg

I have the same issue now and i have run the command. below is the output of the command
