Re: WEBP Image Format
If you want to build a decoder for it, here's a javascript demo you can convert. Scripts included. https://webmproject.github.io/libwebp-demo/webp_js/index.html you could even use the JS within an LC browser to do the conversion! just make it into your own library then :) Sean Cole *Pi Digital* On Wed, 15 Jan 2020 at 22:37, Ralph DiMola via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Thanks for all the suggestions!

RE: WEBP Image Format
Update 2: dwebp command line utility via my new web service API works like a charm. I now can put the webp image into a image control. LC server rocks for banging out these type of things. Thanks again for the info that made this happen!

RE: WEBP Image Format
Thanks for all the suggestions! This is a mobile app so shelling is not an option. I will look at the command line utility and make a web service API on my server. Update: I just converted a test webp file on Windows using this utility and it works. Now onto the on-rev server and Linux/web service. I guess I should file an enhancement request so we can deal with webp format in LC after I get past the current disaster. Continuing on with my headache...

Re: WEBP Image Format
Ralph, Sounds like you are stuck with it. I think you will have to play around with the browser widget or figure out how to take a screen shot of just the image so you can use it. It’s a headache and a PITA! Good luck! Rick > On Jan 15, 2020, at 1:49 PM, Ralph DiMola via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hey Rick, > > Yes, I have no choice.

RE: WEBP Image Format
Hey Rick, Yes, I have no choice. This in one of many weather icon URLs that our weather provider delivers via their API. I don't know what the image is until it's downloaded and displayed. All of the images to date were/are PNGs. This one seems to be an outlier but I'm worried that more of these may come my way. I Can't open it up in any app(Windows) except for Chrome. I display these icons in the app using 24 of these images(one per hour) in a scrolling group. The browser widget opens the URL and displays the image. If I knew the size I guess I could do some convoluted procedure to resize/export the image from the browser widget to an image to display in a resizable image control. If the browser widget can open it then the open source library for webp must be available (conversion widget?).

I have this link although its url is a .png apparently it's in webp format.
