Is RunRev/LiveCode going to be able to import and export WebP in a future recension?
http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OT-is-WebP-going-anywhere-and-if-it-is-how-will-LiveCode-cope-with-it-td2954594.html Hi All, After reading a lot about Hypermedia, Multimedia and Multi-platform development, I found myself thinking about font metrics and image formats. Each one of us have found these issues in the most unexpected moment: text that is too large or too small for it's container... images too light or too dark. Then, I though, Why not use high resolution png (300 dpi) instead of fields with text? File size. Compressed png file size. That would be a big problem. Eventually, I found this article that actually recommends to use webP: http://mainroach.blogspot.com/2013/09/png-compression-5-simple-improvements.html and the next logical though is: Given that Skia is supported by Google, just like VP8 and webP... How long would take for RunRev to add support for both image and video file formats in LiveCode? If there is an open debate, I vote YES to include both open source formats among the media used inside LiveCode stacks.
