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

I hate them because my image viewer of choice doesn't support them and never will because supposedly the developer died and never released the source.

[-] emptyother@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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.

Reminds me of VideoRedo. Cool niche little program that lets you slice video files quickly and losslessly. Then the main developer died. The other developer has kept the license server up, but he doesn't own any of the copyrights. And the program was so niche it doesn't generate much revenue for the work that has to go into it.

ImpressionEyes. I really like how you can view images without a window.

[-] Justly0250@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

I don't get it. Are the snake and the plane shown by the image viewer without the window?

[-] Izzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That is correct. They are open in ImpressionEyes. I can drag them by clicking on them. I can right click on them to open the viewer menu. I can cycle through images in the folder they were opened from by press next and previous, etc..

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
