Attachment - HEIC convert

Hello,

We purchased/installed your module Attachment - HEIC convert for Odoo 19 Community Edition.

The module can now be installed successfully after installing the required Python dependency pyheif. We have also restarted Odoo, and Odoo can import pyheif correctly under the Odoo system user.

We verified this with:

sudo -u odoo python3 -c "import pyheif; print('pyheif ok for odoo')"

The result is:

pyheif ok for odoo

However, after the module is installed and Odoo is restarted, HEIC images uploaded as attachments are still not automatically converted. For example, when a user uploads an invoice/receipt photo taken with an iPhone in .heic format, Odoo still stores it as a HEIC file, and it cannot be previewed in Odoo like JPG/PNG images.

We checked the Odoo log during the upload. The module seems to be triggered:

odoo.addons.attachment_heic_convert.models.ir_attachment:
ir.attachment > create > new_vals_list:
[{'name': 'Weixin Image_20260706150702_76_166.heic', 'res_model': 'hr.leave', 'res_id': 0}]

So the module is loaded and the ir.attachment.create() method appears to be reached. But the file is still not converted.

After checking the module code, we found that the conversion logic seems to only process the datas field:

if type == 'heic':
    if vals.get('datas', False):
        file_data = convert_file_from_heic(datas=vals.get('datas', False), format=format)

But in Odoo 19, some attachment upload flows appear to use the raw field instead of datas. In that case, the module detects the .heic filename, but the conversion is skipped because vals.get('datas') is empty.

The code also references raw, but it looks like it is only removed from the debug log output, not used for conversion:

if 'raw' in new_val:
    new_val.pop('raw', None)

Could you please check and update the module to support Odoo 19 attachment uploads where the uploaded file content is provided through raw instead of datas?

Ideally, the module should support both cases:

1. vals['datas'] contains the base64 file content.
2. vals['raw'] contains the binary file content.

It would also be helpful if the filename extension check is case-insensitive, because iPhone photos may be uploaded as .HEIC, .heic, .HEIF, or .heif.

Expected behavior:

• When a user uploads a .heic or .heif file through Odoo attachments, including Expense receipt/invoice uploads, the module should automatically convert it to PNG or JPG.
• The final attachment should have a previewable image format, such as image/png or image/jpeg.
• The filename should also be updated from .heic / .heif to .png or .jpg.

Current behavior:

• The HEIC file is uploaded successfully.
• The module log shows that ir.attachment.create() is triggered.
• But the file remains HEIC and is not previewable in Odoo.

Could you please provide a fixed version for Odoo 19, or let us know the recommended patch?

Thank you.
