Bug Description

* Impact
That's the current GNOME stable update, including some fixes and translation updates
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/eog/-/blob/gnome-3-36/NEWS

* Test case

The update is part of GNOME stable updates
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

Check that opening images is still working correctly

* Regression potential

There are some changes around the shortcut dialog, check that the correct actions are listed there

---------------------------------

In Ubuntu 19.10 I was able to view HEIF/HEIC files in Eye of Gnome by installing an appropriate gdk-pixbuf loader. In Ubuntu 20.04 eog just shows the message "Could not load image <filename>. Unrecognized image file format".

The HEIF gdk-pixbuf loader itself seems to work correctly, because gcpicview is able to display HEIF images even on Ubuntu 20.04. It's just eog that doesn't seem to use the loader anymore.

I attached an example file 2020-04-11-14-45-361180.heic.

This command works and displays the file: gpicview 2020-04-11-14-45-361180.heic
This command shows the error message mentioned above: eog 2020-04-11-14-45-361180.heic

@seb128: The bug was fixed upstream for GNOME 3.36.2. Would it be possible for you to pull the change into Ubuntu's package so that it's available for the 20.04 release? It looks like a pretty small change to me.

Sorry but it's late now for getting changes on the release, fixes are limited to those impacting the installer or default installation in an important way. We will get the .2 update as a stable update soon enough though

I tested eog version 3.36.2-0ubuntu1 from focal-proposed:
I can confirm that this version fixes the problem. I can now open HEIF/HEIC files again. Opening JPEG and PNG files also still works.
