Hello,

I backup all of my photos from iCloud to my local synology NAS.  The photos are taken with an Apple iPhone, and the default format is .HEIC.  I am able to NFS mount my directory with appropriate permissions, and use the piwigo administrative interface to 'synchronize' my photos (the "physical gallery" option).

What is happening is any files stored in .jpg format are processed and added to the physical gallery.  However, the HEIC files are simply ignored.  In one example, a gallery with 100 files (98 being HEIC, 2 of which are .JPG)

My piwigo server is Ubuntu 18.04.3

I've read some posts that later versions of imagemagick can support the HEIC format.  I followed instructions https://medium.com/@eplt/5-minutes-to-i … e2d09dcef1 to make sure my version of Imagemagick can read/process a HEIC file.  For example I can use the convert command to take the HEIC formated file and change it to JPEG, in which case it is processed by piwigo.

I verified that my piwigo server is using the Imagemagick, and in my phpinfo(). I see the HEIC format as a delegate.

I've searched around for some advice about HEIC format and piwigo, but haven't found much.  I have seen some peoples' public galleries that do have images displayed and can be downloaded as HEIC, so there must be a setting I am missing.  I don't wish to have to convert the HEIC formatted images to JPG just to use Piwigo.

Any advice for where to look at logs to further diagnose, or a pointer to a setting in piwigo I might be missing is appreciated!
