WebP support in PictView

Post by mdruiter »

PictView currently does not understand WebP. IrfanView does. Google uses this format more and more and it looks technically superior to JPEG and such. What about supporting it natively in PictView? Google offers a library for that, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Latest XnView has a plugin.
And perhaps IrfanView. Both are free and *fast*.

Mám na SVG a WebP nastavený XnView.
Fungujú tam totiž rovnako ako v AS klávesy Bsp - predošlý a Spc - ďalší. :D

WebP is becoming increasingly popular and is considered technically superior to JPEG, adding native support would increase PictView capabilities and compatibility. Integrating the library should be relatively straightforward given Google resources and also it has so many features like jpeg compressor, supported with different formats too.
