Image widget does not support HEIC images #20522
Description
Hello. It seems that the image widget does not support High Efficiency Image File Format , which is how by default iOS 11 now stores photos.
This seems like a big issue, as if we want to pick multiple images instead of directly passing the urls to the image, we have to process them and convert to JPG, which causes memory issues if the batch is too big.
- Try to load an image with .heic extension in the image widget
- You will get unsupported codec error
