[HEIF (HEIC) format support on export]

Any ideas why? As far as the OS is concerned it's just bytes. 

No idea. the point you made is why I am confused  I’m new to Linux / SMB, so not sure if the OS “does something” with file types the OS does not natively recognize. As a long short I installed a package to enable HEIF support in the native OS image viewer, and that did not improve copy speeds. 
I don’t see similar performance difference copying to a windows share connected to same switch.

Balls. Really? I believe you but do you have any supporting documentation for this claim? I'd love to read up on it.

While looking for HEIF support for Linux I found several open source examples e.g. 

http://nokiatech.github.io/heif/

so think there is some precedent to it being available. 
 

separately. In a strange “ be careful what you wish for“ I have observed relatively slow speeds when copying smaller files with the HEIF extension to a raspberry pi based NAS, vs copying the larger jpg equivalent.

+1 for this suggestion. And please for the iPad version too.

I noticed that Pixelmator on my iPad is able to export to HEIF, so others have found it technically feasible.

Yes. My desire is to be able to read a how to and try it at same time.

 

i would like if The help files could be opened split screen, vs right now, when I have to get out of the editor to read how to do something.
