On F39 gnome files does not show thumbnails on photo.heic files from iphone. Photo app opens them normally. Show thumbnails on all files is on in preferences. Can i do something about it?

Apparently the thumbnailer (/usr/share/thumbnailers/heif.thumbnailer) is in libheif-tools. That package plus libheif-freeworld should work.

Heic photos thumbnails possible?
