Is this a Windows problem I'm too Linux to understand?
Seriously, everything on my computer -- Firefox, Dolphin, Gwenview, GIMP, etc. -- supports webp just fine.
Yes. As someone who uses both, this is a M$ problem.
It’s an everywhere problem. A lot of sites and apps still don’t support it, but a most browsers do. So people download images from their browser, then they try to view / edit locally, or upload and share, and they hit a wall.
We of the privileged Linux class.
Yeah, same here. No problem with webp on Linux Mint.
I guess it's Windows users with the default image viewer. IrfanView on W10 handles webp fine for me.
So does XnView, both Windows and Linux.
IrfanView is GOAT. On par with VLC or Firefox IMO.
The advantage of using shared libraries is that you only need the one to support webp system-wide and then all apps that need it have it.
yes, because we just have 1 good libwebp library
