I'm the author of the WebP image format plugin in KDE. I can very well use a webp image as a desktop wallpaper - it's really just a missing pattern in the file selection dialog. Simply enter *.webp as filter in the file dialog (yes, you can change the filter being used) and you'll get your images selectable. > > Very new image format.

It's just the missing filter. WebP is supported since KDE 4.11 and was also backported to KDE 4.10 See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267365#c5 > > > If someone can confirm this as a possibility, I'll fill a bug and try > > to patch it myself. Please create a bug report for the missing filter in the wallpaper file selection dialog.
