I know nothing about computers but this does not add up

taking a screenshot can solve some of this problem
I usually convert the image using FFMPEG and that works great.

Time to screenshot the preview and stretch out the jpeg. Upload it when the time calls, only for the web server to re-encode it in webp. The cycle continues.

It's a codec issue. You can get the codec if your OEM paid for it, if not you can buy it on the MS store. It sucks but plenty of other codecs have had the same issue in the past on windows, mkv wasn't playable by windows unless you had a codec for it.
I haven't used windows in years, but I thought this was just about software patents for these codecs. So it should work in regions where software patents are not a thing then (e.g. Europe)?

It's Microsoft you are talking about here
Hear me out:
AI-powered webp support -
It produces huge files compared to more modern lossless formats.
Any other format for lossless to recommend?
-
Wait how does that program know how to open webp? Does webp have like a fallback png mode or something?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Webp is a format Google made. Something gave it a codec, so it knows how to open it. It a program doesn't have the codec to read it, no go.
This may work depending on your application

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.

Here's a real and true story about how separate Microsoft teams communicate and coordinate:
Few weeks ago, some Microsoft team from the US deprecated some critical service used by other Microsoft products. They just shut it off without notifying anyone. Other teams from other Microsoft offices in the rest of the world found about this deprecation when their production builds started failing to log customers in to the applications that they need for their businesses. People were called in from their vacations, emergency meetings were held to play hot potato with responsibility. Clients were PISSED. I stopped following the drama before it was resolved.
What is actually the best way to set up good communication between people and departments? Daily stand-ups tend to become hour long meetings. Make it an e-mail means people don't read it half the time, some even having a rule to automatically shred that kind of mails. Set up talks between people and have a bunch of them not showing up but then get angry nobody asked them for their opinion.

For example a matrix org structure can do wonders.
Really, anything other than vertical hierarchical setup favored by so many tech companies.

https://github.com/jacklicn/libwebpAh fair enough, I thought that with it being Windows XP era software made by Microsoft, it wouldn't load codecs dynamically like that lol

No no, it needs to be more present, more ubiquitous, more "ubi-soft"

Little tech? Like, a micro company that makes software? A "micro-soft", if you will.

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!::: spoiler proof
:::(FWIW this is a clean install, I do not have any non-default codecs installed)

Huh? I am pretty sure I didn't have any problem opening WebP files when I was still using Windows 10 (switched to Debian GNU/Linux btw).
-
I just hate webp because it’s supported in a grand total of 2 programs so it’s just annoying to deal with
I like how you say that it's supported by grand total of 2 programs, yet I never had any problems opening it in any media viewing software. Even Windows Paint opens it as far as I am aware.
-
I kept a copy of the old Windows XP version of media viewer/pictute viewer, whatever the hell its generic name was becsuse at some point in, IIRC, Vista, they updated it to some piece of garbage that had an uglier UI, worked slower, had no options for slideshows, and didn't even support shit like animated .gifs.
Even that old ass program can open a .webp image.
I think it opens webp images, because it uses some built-in library (in your OS) to load and display images. WebP format was introduced in 2010, and Windows XP in 2001, so it couldn't support it out of the box.
-
I guess it's Windows users with the default image viewer. IrfanView on W10 handles webp fine for me.
IrfanView is GOAT. On par with VLC or Firefox IMO.
