Display HEIC/HEIF files

[PhasecoreX]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
iOS devices save photos in HEIC/HEIF format. Nextcloud saves these to my server as a .heic file, which Photonix can’t read (or display).

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to view my original HEIC files, along with all the cool photo processing and tagging that Photonix does.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I haven’t yet.

Additional context
In the future, I’d like the iOS app to upload the original heic image too, not a converted jpg file.

This project is awesome, keep up the great work!

Thanks for opening this @PhasecoreX and the words of encouragement.

I agree photos should be uploaded in their original format and Photonix should read as many types as possible. I hadn't realised that all photos from iOS are in this format - I thought it was just a Live Photos thing. This is a higher priority than I thought.
