Further to comment #1 I downloaded a file from Google Photos which was in .heic
format
and the file was immediately viewable in Gwenview 23.08.5 (Kubuntu 24.04).
So I'm closing this bug report as 'Fix Released'.

** Changed in: gwenview (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix
Reported here in Gwenview as this is the place where a user notices the

please fix it for
