[Bug 1318327] Re: Can't open .webp files

[Misaki]

The bug for libwebp seems to be Bug #1407644. Should one of these bugs
be marked as a duplicate and the other project added to the list of
affected projects?

I notice that ffmpeg (possibly with the right compile options) can open
.webp files, and ffmpeg uses the GNU General Public License version 2+
though that particular decoder might not.

eog also seems to use the GNU General Public License version 2+.

The other bug report says that using a gdk-pixbuf loader is the right
way to extend support, but in the meantime, could eog just use code from
ffmpeg, or even ffmpeg directly? (Imagemagick, for example, uses ffmpeg
to open video files.) It seems that having a poor solution may be better
than having no solution, if there is currently no motivation to
implement the 'correct' solution.
