Hi all
Hi Tim,
When setting up my new xfce4 based system, I stumbled across
webp-pixbuf-loader.
It easily adds support for webp images in gdk-pixbuf-loader, which
then automatically gets picked up by thunar, tumbler and ristretto
and
will allow you to view and preview those images. I suppose it would
be
the same for gnome folks.
I think GPicView, Nautilus, EOG, and maybe PCManFM could use this for
thumbnails :)
The repository is at
https://github.com/aruiz/webp-pixbuf-loader
Current version is.
https://github.com/aruiz/webp-pixbuf-loader/archive/0.0.2.tar.gz
which should be downloaded to webp-pixbuf-loader-0.0.2.tar.gz
Build and install is a simple matter of:
mkdir build
cd build || exit
meson --prefix=/opt/X11 -Dbuildtype=release ..
ninja || exit
cd ..
cd build || exit
DESTDIR=$DESTDIR ninja install || exit
cd ..
/opt/X11/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
Of course, DESTDIR is my own choice, as is the /opt/X11 prefix.
Maybe this could be added as a suggestion to the libwebp or the
gdk-pixbuf page?
It looks simple enough, I think we should add it to the book,
probably
placing it into Graphics Libraries. Being able to read webp images is
very useful now. I'd say mentioning it on the gdk-pixbuf page would
be
useful. Bruce and others, what do you think?
Both libwebp and gdk-pixbuf are dependencies for webp-pixbuf-loader. We
usually mention things the other way around. But definitely, we should
mention it for any package that can use it (either as a runtime dep or
a build dep, we need to check). So it may be more practical to have it
in the book. Reading the issues, this package seems to be usable qith
pcmanfm, eog, and a lot of viewer.
I have installed and "tested" it, it is clearly a runtime dependency,
neither libwebp or gdk-pixbuf need it or can even use it when building them.
I can confirm that it is usable with ristretto tumbler, thunar and
pcmanfm, I have all these built and installed _before_
webp-pixbuf-loader, and they now all display webp images just fine.
Animated webp files however are not supported for thumbnailing.
Bye
Tim
