I downloaded a sample HEIC image from here:
https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=32568
It was the first Single Image link:
https://nokiatech.github.io/heif/content/images/autumn_1440x960.heic

While I was able to load it into my app using ImageEn 8.7.5, any changes I made did not get saved. I tried the same thing with Microsoft Paint, and it could save the changes. I did not download any drivers as mentioned in other HEIC posts on the forum on my Windows 10 Home version 1903.

I try to save changes using this line of code:
ImageEnView1.LayersSaveMergedTo(fImageFilename);
where fImageFilename is the HEIC filename.

No errors occur, but the file's timestamp is not updated and reloading it shows none of the layers merged in.

Delphi 10.3.2
ImageEn 8.7.5

Hi Eric

At this time, HEIC is only supported using Microsoft's WIC. WIC does not include HEIC saving support.

If HEIC becomes more popular we will consider native support.

OK. Any thoughts about supporting saving in the future since MS Paint can <wink wink> :D

No problem actually. I can't use that format anyway in WPTools as it turns out. I'll have to tell the guy who uses his iPhone to configure it to save photos to jpg format, or converted at transfer time. Both options apparently are available in the latest iOS from what I've read:

Hi Eric

ImageEn cannot save to HEIC format.

In 8.7.6. TImageEnView.LayersSaveMergedTo will return False on a save error.
