WebP is a new image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web.
I compile it and no apps support it yet
sailfish-browser and jolla-gallery may use this link:https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/api include and rebuild
:)

same situation with Openjpeg (JPEG2000 support) when building from scratch.
One step forward is to build gstreamer-plugins-bad1.0 after setting up webp and openjpeg so that it will include support for it automatically:
affter that gst-inspect-1.0 returns new entries
webp: webpdec: WebP image decoder
openjpeg: openjpegdec: OpenJPEG JPEG2000 decoder
openjpeg: openjpegenc: OpenJPEG JPEG2000 encoder
jp2kdecimator: jp2kdecimator: JPEG2000 decimator
typefindfunctions: image/webp: webp
typefindfunctions: image/jp2: jp2
and from now on apps using gstreamer for decoding may support these image formats.

It could make sense to use them for icons instead of png files, as they compress better/may be decoded in hardware.
mikelima ( 2015-06-12 11:35:46 +0300 )Good and #unlike idea. :)
MartinK ( 2015-06-12 15:29:03 +0300 )Sorry for bit necromancy, but I also like the idea of having support, libwebp compiles in jolla and it seems that QT also supports it now... (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtimageformats-index.html) , so it's non-sense having not support at all.
In other hand, the idea of replacing icons I don't like it, it's better to stay away from Google dependencies.
