No it's not fixed, the upstream gdk-pixbuf task got closed because they don't want to accept new loaders in source so it needs to be fixed in another component.
We should probably push to integrate it as a new package at some point but there hasn't been high demand for it so far and it's not frequent to find webp images yet which means it's still a low priority item. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdk-pixbuf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864215 Title: Please add webp loader to gdk-pixbuf Status in gdk-pixbuf: Fix Released Status in gdk-pixbuf package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gdk-pixbuf package in Baltix: Triaged Status in Debian: New Bug description: Attempting to load a webp image -- for instance, https://images.theweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/tw_image_9_4/public/FKK78W.jpg.webp or https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/2YtWB5zH7sPycyc0FYv3JSB6SFw=/60x0:1140x720/920x613/filters:focal(60x0:1140x720):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49663815/timburton.0.0.jpg -- in a gdk-pixbuf app results in a "Couldn’t recognize the image file format" error. Bug 1318327 covers this issue in eye of gnome, and bug 1407644 in libwebp, but isn't this really a gdk-pixbuf issue? If it really does belong to libwebp, my apologies, please dup this bug to 1407644 (I'm confident it doesn't belong to eog since I don't use that program; I have other programs that use libgdk-pixbuf). You can probably use eog to test this, or run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders | grep -i webp (I assume the loader would mention webp if there was a loader for it).
