Support for webp #15

Closed mfdorst closed 1 year ago

mfdorst commented 1 year ago

When I try to use a webp image I get this

[LOG] Welcome to hyprpaper!
built from commit 8f4c712950ad6a9bc7c7281c15a63f5fa06ba92b ()
[CRITICAL] unrecognized image /home/michael/wallpaper/gruvbox-arch.webp

I'm assuming this is because hyprpaper does not support the webp format. Is there any plan to support webp?

why

mfdorst commented 1 year ago

Because support for more formats is, in general, better. feh supports webp, so it's not unreasonable to think that people switching to wayland might have wallpapers in webp format that they would like to use (as I did).

mfdorst commented 1 year ago

In any case, it might be nice to have a list of supported formats in the documentation.

mfdorst commented 1 year ago

Whatever you want to do though, I appreciate the work you're doing. Hyprland is awesome.

webp is the single most garbage image format and a lot of things do not support it. I have no plans to do that either.

Surely, it's not that much trouble to convert wallpapers to a format it does support: convert image.webp image.png
