AVIF support

[trogladyte]

I saw this question asked in 2022 with no reply. I'm on the current version, but it still won't open an AVIF file which are becoming much more common now.

When will AVIF be supported please?

I find that it is not very useful because there are already plenty of converters both online and program to convert AVIF to JPEG. Especially since the AVIF format requires a lot of dll for the codecs, so I don't know if it's worth it...?

I respectfully disagree.

AVIF is rapidly becoming more and more popular:

Why was the WebP image format added to PhotoFiltre in the past, when there were converters available to convert to and from the WebP image format? Adding the WebP image format seemed to be useful then.

What about people who don't want to convert AVIF images to JPEG (i.e. who don't want to convert from a superior format to an inferior format)? What about people who want to save all newly created images in AVIF format? What about people who want to open AVIF images in PhotoFiltre? What about people who want to standardize on AVIF as their default image format?

De toute façon, même si je le voulais, je n'ai pas trouvé de dll simple pour Delphi ou Lazarus qui ouvre le format AVIF, donc je ne peux pas faire de plugin pour ça. Je ne fais pas ce que je veux, seulement ce que je peux

Mais comme je l'ai dit plus haut, si on ne peut pas ouvrir directement une image AVIF dans PhotoFiltre, il suffit de la convertir en PNG par exemple via un convertisseur en ligne ou avec des outils de conversion comme XnView ou IrfanView (j'en profite pour faire de la pub aux collègues)
