Using C-API instead of C++ libheif API has following advantages:
- More libheif features available (for ex.: strict decoding)
- Linking with static build of libheif is possible
- No need to enable exceptions
- If the size of an item is greater than 1 byte, it must be ensured that it is not partially read.
- In many readings, LibRAW gives an error if a partial number of items are read so I always try to read everything.
libavif 0.11.0 uses new default dimension limit 32768 pixels,
we allow 65535 which was used by us previously.
Minor tweaks in jumpToNextImage, jumpToImage
to handle rare situations.
In recent libheif, application should use
heif_init/heif_deinit calls. Unfortunately, these calls are
not thread-safe in released 1.13.0 version yet (will be in the
future) and HEIFHandler is often created in different threads.
So we have to guard their use with a mutex.
Plugin to read RAW camera images based on LibRAW.
- Supersedes MR !86
- Support to LibRaw 0.20 and 0.21-Beta
- Support to multi-shot images: use imageCount(), jumpToImage() to select the wanted shot
- By default generates 16-bits sRGB images using camera white balance and interpolation AHD
- Should fix CCBUG: 454208: on my Debian with KF5.96 and the pulgin installed, I see the preview of all my RAW files (ARW included) in Dolphin
News compared to V1 (MR !86)
- Fix possible stack overflow due to the huge size of LibRaw class
- Fix image allocation with Qt 6 (make use of QImageIOHandler::allocateImage())
- Support to XMP metapacket
- Support to quality option. For e.g. you can focus on quality (q = 10) or speed (q = 1)
- oss-fuzz available [here](https://github.com/mircomir/oss-fuzz/tree/raw_fuzz/projects/kimageformats)
To make the plugins fail to allocate if the image size is greater than QImageReader::allocationLimit() it is necessary to allocate the image with QImageIOHandler::allocateImage().
Note that not all plugins have been changed and some others are not tested in the CI (maybe due to missing libraries).
PS: the following message is printed by QImageIOHandler::allocateImage() if the size is exceeded: "qt.gui.imageio: QImageIOHandler: Rejecting image as it exceeds the current allocation limit of XXX megabytes"
