Subject: 1.5.5: <missing webp file support>

XnView: MP 1.5.5 - 64 bit
OS: Linux 64bit Ubuntu

<Missing file support of webp in deb package.>

Effect: Webp files does not work at all anymore

To reproduce:
1. install 1.5.5 deb file
2. try to open any webp file or try to set database thumbnails to webp (old webp thumbnails might display but garbled)
3. check the filetypes "read" and "write" the webp file settingstab is missing
4. version 1.5.4 have the file support on same system
5. version 1.5.5 in appimage have the full support for webp working.

Actual behaviour (bug): <The complete file support for webp is missing in version 1.5.5,
cant open files in the format anymore, thumbnails cant be created in the internal
thumbnail creation process (defaults back to jpeg). The issue is seen in the .deb
packages, the appimage works fine.>

Expected behaviour: <xnview should display webp files like in version 1.5.4>

I can confirm. I tried to check this, by writing "webp" in the "quick filter", but only got some files that ended in ".webp.jpg", and thus were jpeg-files (files that end with an extension, and then another, real, extension, I find rather weird and annoyong)
So I changed "filter by", to "all", and tried again ...and found tons of webp-files, that XnView cannot handle.

In other words: XnViewMP 1.5.5, doesn't treat/classify webp-files, as image files, and cannot open them.
I noticed on file, that ends in ".webp", actually got treated as an image, and could be opened ...but it appears to actually be a png-file, with the wrong extension.

Edit: I checked my other computer, and can note that the Windows version handles webp-files, just fine. On Linux (at least with the deb-file), however, there is the above mentioned bug.

Please try to download the package again, i've fixed the issue

Nope, it's still the same.

in /opt/XnView/lib, do you have libsharpyuv?

No, I can't find any libsharpyuv, there.

It seems that you have not the latest .deb, is it from today?

Given that I installed it, after you said "Please try to download the package again, i've fixed the issue", and going to https://download.xnview.com/ showed that it was last modified, 2023-09-11 08:54... (I typically download from https://download.xnview.com/old_versions/, but I noted that https://download.xnview.com/old_version ... ux-x64.deb didn't have a newer "last modified" date)

Yes. It is from today.

i've just installed the one from download.xnview.com, and i have /opt/XnView/lib/libsharpyuv.so

Well I did, and I don't.
That you do, doesn't change that.

No /opt/XnView/lib/libsharpyuv.so? .deb should have 48 256 604 bytes

Nope.

.deb should have 48 256 604 bytes

Yes, it's 48 256 604 bytes. I had to re-dowload it, to get the byte size ...and re-installed, just to make sure. Still doesn't work and still no /opt/XnView/lib/libsharpyuv.so

what do you have when using ?
