Comment on Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows preview
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’ve really wanted to ditch JPEG. It’s a 34 year old format.
The problem is that AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC/HEIF don’t work in many places. At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser, and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format is close to this.

there’s a new push to support JPEG-XL in Firefox. it got a labs toggle recently so you can enable it for yourself. I think chrome has done something too.

what OS do you use? KDE flavoured linux handles it fine. probably not KDE specific though.
I saw the JXL article recently. It’s good progress. Didn’t a major browser remove JXL support after it was added?
I’m on Ubuntu gnome. I think the biggest outlier was LibreOffice, which didn’t support any modern formats.

yes, chrome, a few years ago. google wanted to push its own inferior format

that’s possible it does not use the system libraries for that. but the system file manager and system gallery app should support it, and anything that uses the same libs
Which distro are you using?
My NAS is running Arch (btw) and I have Immich installed baremetal because someone’s nicely maintaining it in the AUR… would need a little work to convert that script into something for another distro…
Ubuntu server.
I found a dude maintaining a deb repo. I might give that a shot.
It’s kinda nuts that people have got it working and fully automates the packaging, but immich haven’t taken it on.
Yep, esp. as the Immich team (and most likely others) should be using automation for their builds anyway…

JXL is working alright for me.
As an example with a lot of dynamic range, here’s a JXL:

AVIF:
AVIF
Both render in my desktop and iPhone browsers, just fine. I bet at least one renders for you. And I made them from RAWs from a really old camera!
The problem is, as you say… arbitrary lack of support. As an example, I can’t upload either file to Lemmy. Brand new social media software, and it doesnt’ recognize JXL or AVIF as valid image types, even though they should render just fine? Most image hosts wont take JXL either, hence I had to upload them to litterbox since catbox is down!
An HEIF, on the other hand, has basically 0 support outside of Apple:

You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly 😆

What platform is that, out of curiosity? Im pretty sure everything should load an AVIF.
At least any pictures uploaded on dbzer0 is converted to webp
