Description jlm 2023-10-09 21:57:29 UTC
doing an emerge --search avif or emerge --search heif don't provide any useful answer, if you have guru overlay it will provide media-plugins/qt-heif-image-plugin and media-plugins/qt-avif-image-plugin is no more in guru overlay because avif is now provided by kimageformats

this lead the user to search the web and find nothing useful but forums mentioning the qt-* 

1) kimageformats description should include what format is supported
2) kimageformats description should notice the user that it works without kde installed, since bound to QT

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --search avif 
2.emerge --search heif
3.
Actual Results:  
nothing useful to know how to activate avif/heif file support on gentoo

Expected Results:  
kimageformats should be in the results

Such a long description would break ebuild writing rules.
