Is this just Google trying to extend its imperialistic influence
even further, or is this s serious competitor up against
PNG and GIF?
Is RunRev/LiveCode going to be able to import and export WebP
in a future recension?

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.
Al
I would vote YES for as many open source formats as is possible to be
rolled into
Livecode.
As an awful lot of work has been done by the "open Source Community"
[which is a slightly unfortunate
phrase, as it gives an overly optimistic view of a community], and it
would seem churlish not to
take everything that is on offer that can extend the capabilities of
Livecode.
Richmond.
