WebP seems pretty widely supported to me - on Windows at least, Explorer shows thumbnails for them, Paint can open them, other editors like Paint.NET have built-in support... I haven't come across software that doesn't support WebP for a while.
- jhoechtl 1y agoRight so on Linux/KDE. Is missing WebP support a meme?
- freedomben 1y agoYep, on Gnome we have both eog and GIMP that support webp completely, and have for many years. I don't think I've even tried with other apps but haven't needed to. I didn't even realize this was a problem for some platforms
- frollogaston 1y agoGoogle Docs, of all things, does not support webp. Preview on Mac can open it but not edit. Those are my two most common use cases.
- coryrc 1y agoI celebrated the anniversary of the (internal) bug asking for SVG support in Google slides. I think it's up to 15 years now? So, uh, don't get your hopes up.
- frollogaston 1y agoWell SVGs I understand being harder to support, those aren't really images. And various anti-injection security rules treat it as untrusted HTML code.
- pimlottc 1y agoThere is a workaround for using SVG in Google Slides by using Google Drive to convert to EMF (a format I’ve never heard of anywhere else). It’s a pain, though. https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/115814/how-can-i-import-a-vector-drawing-into-google-slides https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/115814/how...
- frollogaston 1y agoHuh, first I've heard of EMF too.
- Koffiepoeder 1y agoIt seems so strange to me that it is this hard to add: I wrote a userscript recently to extract titles from slides and if I recall Google slides already renders in an svg format. Wondering what's going on here.
