How to setup XnView to view .HEIC images?

[DarylJohnson]

I have been trying to understand how to do this, but it seems so complicated. Something like finding some modding files from github, and placing them in certain folders in xnview, but it hasn't seemed to work for me.

Can someone help? It feels odd to me that xnview can't open these images by default. Windows can display them in thumbnails natively. GIMP, Photoshop and other imageprocessing programs opens them without issues. Why not XnView?

Thanks for any help.

XnView MP support HEIC by default
