Animated WebP #1086

Open R4rum opened 1 year ago

R4rum commented 1 year ago

ISSUE TYPE

GEEQIE VERSION

Geeqie 2.0.1 GTK3

OS / DISTRIBUTION

Arch Linux

SUMMARY

Animated WebP support seems to be missing. I found another issue where it was told that the loader didn't support them yet, but it seems to have been since fixed: https://github.com/aruiz/webp-pixbuf-loader/issues/5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

caclark commented 1 year ago

Could you please try this (or whatever the Arch Linux format is):

sudo apt install webp-pixbuf-loader

R4rum commented 1 year ago

It's already installed and the latest version: community/webp-pixbuf-loader 0.2.4-1 (9.7 KiB 22.1 KiB) (Installed)

caclark commented 1 year ago

I now recall another problem with webp - #1076

I use Xubuntu - the installed version is 0.2.1-1, and works ok.

I guess I will have to try to find where the problems really lie.

R4rum commented 1 year ago

Regular webps do show up, and even most animated ones do show up in the side bar (as stills), but there's a "broken file" icon for animations, not blackness, for me.

Ah, sorry - the handling of webp files changed recently. The latest versions of Geeqie display animated webp files correctly (on my computer, at least).

Unfortunately your only option is to compile from sources - and even that is not a complete solution, as the thumbnail for animated images is not created.
