Bulk convert

Code:

magick convert image.heic image.jpg

There are of course plenty of options to fine-tune the conversion if necessary.

You can even do a while directory of images like this:

Code:

convert *.heic -set filename:base "%[basename]" "%[filename:base].jpg"

(some more ways here).

@Ofnuts  I tried ImageMagick, but ver. 7 appears not to be available for Fedora, and ver. 6 does not have the magick command integrated into the app, nor could I find a plug-in for it. So yes, that seems the best option; but no, it didn't work. (And agreed that GIMP is overkill, but for whatever reason everyone else seems to be years behind in developing for heif.)

@rich2005  I try to avoid permitting a bundle of repos, mostly for security purposes, but I have libheif installed as a plug-in for GIMP (iirc). I'll try the technique on the stuffjasondoes.com page, and if it doesn't work I guess I'll install the repo and try again.

In IM6 you just use convert. The added magick in ver 7 (because there are name clashes with other tools that have convert/identify commands)
