Shotwell 0.32.2 Image Viewer Adds Support for HEIF Files with .HIF Extension
The most significant change in Shotwell 0.32.2 is support for HEIF image files with the .HIF extension. If you have a device that outputs such files, you’ll want to update to this new Shotwell version to be able to see them on your GNU/Linux box, that if Shotwell is your default image viewer app.
This release also improves support for the Flatpak sandboxed universal package format when using the “send to” functionality to send image files to another app or device. This change applies to those who have Shotwell installed as a Flatpak app from Flathub or their distro’s repositories.
