DAVIF

Decompress an AVIF file to an image file.
As of 2020-05-31 only PNG format output is implemented.

I wrote this program to use it as a thumbnailer for Gnome desktop.
The commandline switch is compatiable with the dwebp utility for webp.

Install

First install the binary

cargo install davif
sudo install $HOME/.cargo/bin/davif /usr/bin

Install the mime type definition

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/mime/packages
cp avif.xml $HOME/.local/share/mime/packages
update-mime-database $HOME/.local/share/mime

Then install the thumbnailer config

install -m644 avif.thumbnailer $HOME/.local/share/thumbnailers/
