Doesn't support webp

[Former user]

Tried adding webp to Image file extensions list, and I get "No imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found." error.

Is there a way how I can add webp support? Like adding some ffmpeg or other libraries to expected location?

If not, can you please add it? Nowadays, when a lot of websites are serving webp, lack of it can truly be considered a bug.

I was about to re-encode my comics library to webp as according to my tests it cuts the size in half with no perceivable quality loss, but then I've realized NeeView won't open it :(

WIC Codec is required. If it is the latest Windows 10, it is installed by default.

• Webp Image Extensions
  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/webp-image-extensions/9pg2dk419drg

Webp is not supported on Windows 7, but here are some ways to do it.

• Plan.A: Use "WebP Susie Plug-in"

  • Download "ifwebp10.zip" from http://toro.d.dooo.jp/slplugin.html#iftwebp and extract it to an appropriate location. (All you need is "ifwebp.spi")
  • Set in [Options > Susie] to enable the plugin.
  • NOTE: It takes more processing load than WIC decoding.

• Plan.B: Install a dedicated WIC codec

  • Download abd install "WebpCodecSetup.exe" from https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webp/index.html.
  • NOTE：Some WebP images may not be decoded.
