Description Christoph Thielecke 2010-10-08 10:18:26 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It would be nice if konqueror has support for webp format developed by google.
The project homepage is here: http://code.google.com/intl/de/speed/webp/
The sources can be downloaded there too: http://webp.googlecode.com/files/webp-leptonica-0.0.1.tar.gz


Reproducible: Always

Opera now have native support for WebP: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/unix/1110b/

KHTML integrates with kimgio system, which is essentially use a KDE list Qt image plugins. So first step for webp support is to make Qt Image plugin, and then we can whitelist the format in KHTML as a safe format from the web.

Note that a webp qt plugin would also enable all other KDE and Qt application to use WebP images or icons.
