A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Media viewer and the file browser are completely different programs with different support for media file types.
Not that this is an excuse for Media Viewer to not open webp files. Also asking you to pay for h265 support is extra ridiculous.
I just use VLC for everything.
They are made by the same company and sold as a unified software package under the name Windows 11 [edition]
I loathe windows, but I did just double check because this sounds inept even for M$ -- Win photos will absolutely open .webp, but it's not the default program for whatever reason and it just defaults to edge / your_default_web_browser_here. Which is just impressively on brand for microsoft. Even when they have a feature they hide it to, idk, make themselves look even worse? Why not!
proof
(FWIW this is a clean install, I do not have any non-default codecs installed)
THANK YOU. you just saved me so much time with the knowledge.
Yeah, it's sorted through WIC iirc. As long as you have the codec installed you should be able to open it.
I didn't have time to check all the comments, so here's a backup:
Just install GNU/Linux
;)
KDE Plasma let's me use .jxl files as my wallpaper. I can also take screenshots in .jxl.
Same Plasma here. I'm using SHADERS as my background. Currently the Balatro menu shader.
The operating system support for JPEG XL is really there! By now even Windows supports it natively. Not only previews in the file manager, but also in the media viewer.
Yeah, I copied a .jxl over to my Windows 11 VM out of curiosity and was surprised to see it opened just fine.
I was trying to write something that would save an AVIF image this week. Holy shit the ecosystem is bad. I had to encode the image and write the exif tags with two different libraries. The latter being a CLI program and not a library. The WEBP situation is even worse.
We are never getting away from JPEG.
I know a bunch about computers and that doesn't add up to me either!! I hate the webp format.
Webp is honestly a really good format for what its made to do. That being said, windows support for it is lacking for some reason. I don't know why as it's been common for a long time now.
Also, you can always use ffmpeg to convert to png or jpg or whatever you want. Simple file conversions like that are super easy.
Just use a proper Operating System and silly problems like that will go away.
