Is there any way to see webp foto from thunar with XFCE DE? There was a similar question, but it was about nautilus.
Then to get webp thumbs a tumbler (the Xfce thumbnailing service) must support, and there nothing.
Then for open pictures a some viewer must know webp.



I experienced a ristretto, gpicview, viewnior and they all say something like: error of interpretation of the image file format jpeg



still there is a some library - libwebp

          Here are the Linux applications I've found so far that display webp images:




          • Chrome

          • feh, with https://github.com/gawen947/imlib2-webp (unconfirmed)

          • GIMP

          • GraphicsMagick

          • gThumb

          • ImageMagick

          • nomacs

          • Thunar

          • vwebp

          • PhotoQt

          • Gwenview

            XNViewMP can view WebP files. Though Tumbler has yet to implement WebP, so the files won't be able to be viewed as thumbnails within Thunar.

              It’s need to be mentioned that XNViewMP is non-free.

            In 16.04



            display 'vid:*.webp'


            Since 16.04 imagemagick does support webp, although it apparently delegates decoding to webp, so webp is needed:



            sudo apt-get install webp

              If you are looking for GUI applications, consider GIMP or ImageMagick.



              If you have installed libwebp, you could use vwebp file.webp to view the image, and dwebp file.webp -o file.png to convert it to a png file.



              See https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/using for details.

                Developed by Google, WebP is a new image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web.



                You can download a WebP viewer, and other utilities from Google Developers

                • Precompiled WebP utilities and library for **Linux**, Windows and Mac OS X. from the same site. So its downloadable for Linux.

                • Yes, I've seen it, and even set the system libwebp, but the problem is how to do to make things work together lib->thumb->viewer I can not understand. /if possible, then sign for gyide

                            In 16.04



                            display 'vid:*.webp'


                            Since 16.04 imagemagick does support webp, although it apparently delegates decoding to webp, so webp is needed:



                            sudo apt-get install webp

                                If you are looking for GUI applications, consider GIMP or ImageMagick.



                                If you have installed libwebp, you could use vwebp file.webp to view the image, and dwebp file.webp -o file.png to convert it to a png file.



                                See https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/using for details.
