Neil Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'm trying to import photos into Daminion that are in Apple's native HEIC format. Daminion does not recognize these as supported filetypes. I'm using v5.9 (1785). I don't see any references in the Forum topic on latest Daminion builds that suggests that HEIC compatibility has been added. What is the plan to add native compatibility for HEIC?

Hi Neil, Apologies for the inconveniences! I've asked our developers if they plan to add support of HEIC format. For now, you can use this workaroundto make Daminion import your files, but the thumbnail will be generic Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Thanks, Daria. I found a free(!) program by iMazing to convert from HEIC to JPG. https://imazing.com/heic This worked well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjuiohfrsjmscuarf Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hi, converting HEIC to JPG is from my point of view a workaroudnd; as HEIC files are a lot smaller than JPGs I would like to see Daminion natively support this image format. Thx, Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daria Kotilainen Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hi Rene, I've registered the request to add the support of the HEIC files a few months ago, but, unfortunately, due to other priorities it has not been done yet. You can import these files into Daminion, however, the thumbnails will not be shown. Kind regards Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL1 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Has HEIC thumbnails in Daminion been added yet? I tried the trial, and added the HEIC extension to allow me to import it, and on the import window it shows the thumbnails since the codec is installed on my server, but once imported into Daminion, they go to the generic icon. I need this to work before I purchase, because we have 1000s of heic images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
