Hello, I am trying to open Apple iPhone 'File.HEIC' types. I discovered
by installing GIMP 2.10.24 on my openSUSE TW computer (all updated-to current), that I can now open and then export an HEIC image-file into a
format now readable (by Okular and Gwenview) through Dolphin. I saved this particular testing file to the pc previously.
I didn't know before that by installing and using Gimp that I could then export the "HEIC" file types. I don't own an iPhone it's actually a aquaintance's. (So it's not super easy to do the mounting of the device
for testing). I followed an article here a bit and did have success in mounting the phone previously (Per login Instance basis, not permanent across powercycle). https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-iphone-6s-ios-11.html
Do some users have opinions on how to go about mounting an iPhone more easily? How far off or difficult is it to make openSUSE able to mount iPhones more easily or what is the preferred method now?
What is the preferred app for viewing these "HEIC" file types? For instance taking photos with iPhone then using the pc to more easily create adds for selling items online.
I don't have any Apple hardware to try with, but I would check with Linux tools that connect to cameras for downloading photos. Ddarktable, Digikam, Shotwell, ... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
