Hey Rick,

Yes, I have no choice. This in one of many weather icon URLs that our
weather provider delivers via their API. I don't know what the image is
until it's downloaded and displayed. All of the images to date were/are
PNGs. This one seems to be an outlier but I'm worried that more of these may
come my way. I Can't open it up in any app(Windows) except for Chrome. I
display these icons in the app using 24 of these images(one per hour) in a
scrolling group.
The browser widget opens the URL and displays the image. If I knew the size
I guess I could do some convoluted procedure to resize/export the image from
the browser widget to an image to display in a resizable image control.
If the browser widget can open it then the open source library for webp must
be available (conversion widget?).

Headache....

Hi Ralph,

Webp format is a google image format.

Can you convert the image to standard .png before using it or is this
something google is forcing you to use?
