Are you sure about gthumb?
I downloaded a test image, and opened in gthumb (see cropped screenshot). The metadata shows it's HEIF/AVIF image.
Yet, the gthumb version is:
Code:
[dmn@Sydney ~]$ gthumb --version
gthumb 3.10.4, Copyright © 2001-2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
So I'm a bit confused, as the article indeed says gthumb 3.12 added this support. Maybe because this gthumb is provided by Manjaro and they have included the support, while that's not true of Ubuntu's package?
ADDED:
Using new Ubuntu 21.10, I tested the Flatpak gthumb, 3.12, and can confirm it will not display the image. Maybe a later update it will.
