I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

    My image viewer of choice will never implement it, they replied when I suggested, because the spec isn’t standardized. And because they consider themselves photography viewer/editor, not an image viewer. Understandable.

    The webp is a format used exclusively for web graphics with no practical use in digital photography, moreover, the technical documentation is not really standardized so it makes it really challenging to ensure 100% support. Mainly for those reasons, the webp is not supported in ZPS X

    Im using it because it got the best tag manager/tag browser, not for the photo features.
