[OT} is WebP going anywhere, and if it is how will LiveCode cope with it?

2010-10-04 Thread Richmond

 http://code.google.com/speed/webp/download.html

Is this just Google trying to extend its imperialistic influence
even further, or is this s serious competitor up against
PNG and GIF?

Is RunRev/LiveCode going to be able to import and export WebP
in a future recension?

WepP doesn't really offer anything over JPEG, I honestly can't see any reason 
for it to take off.

File sizes can be slightly smaller, but it has the same bit depth, *smaller* 
pixel dimension limits, doesn't appear to include a progressive download spec 
like JPEG, doesn't include an alpha layer for transparency like PNGs etc. etc.

anyone remembers JPEG2000? Good quality and tiny file sizes.

If yes, when did you last encounter this file type?
OK, that may answer the question :-)
