    Hello all,

    I can import webp files into Inkscape on my Ubuntu 25.04 computer and it works excellent

    Inkscape 1.4 (e7c3feb100, 2024-10-09)

                          Compile  (Run)
        GLib version:     2.84.1
        GTK version:      3.24.49 (3.24.49)
        glibmm version:   2.66.1
        gtkmm version:    3.24.5
        libxml2 version:  2.13.6
        libxslt version:  1.1.42
        Cairo version:    1.18.4 (1.18.4)
        Pango version:    1.56.3 (1.56.3)
        HarfBuzz version: 9.0.0 (9.0.0)

        OS version:       GNOME 48 (Flatpak runtime)
     

    However windows 11 Inkscape says it can not open a webp import

    Inkscape 1.4 (86a8ad7, 2024-10-11)

                          Compile  (Run)
        GLib version:     2.82.1
        GTK version:      3.24.43 (3.24.43)
        glibmm version:   2.66.7
        gtkmm version:    3.24.9
        libxml2 version:  2.12.9
        libxslt version:  1.1.42
        Cairo version:    1.18.2 (1.18.2)
        Pango version:    1.54.0 (1.54.0)
        HarfBuzz version: 10.0.1 (10.0.1)

        OS version:       Windows 11 23H2

    What can I do to get the Windows version of Inkscape to import webp files?

    Thanks

     

    Ok, I imported a webp file in inkscape on Ubuntu, saved and opened it in Inkscape on Windows, no issue, just the import process is not there.
