Very new image format. Some of the apps that do support it, do so through BMP (ugh!) transforms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP#Support Limited support is available in KDE:- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253572 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267365 > > Does anyone have ever tried to do is or know whether it is supported > or not? I researched it first, found limited KDE support, and that it was still a far from compelling image format to adopt. Not as optimised as ImageZero[*1], and has a number of shortcomings:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP#Criticism [*1]http://imagezero.maxiom.de/ > > Maybe this is just a filter being missed at the image selection box > (the filter displays only: *.png *.jpeg *.jpg *.xcf *.svg *.svgz > *.bmp), and maybe adding *.webp will solve the issue.
