Viewer like Universal Viewer that supports webp

[Ivan]

The free version of UV works fine for me except in not supporting webp. I'm seriously stretched for time and cannot do a research/compare project right now. Does anyone know of a possible replacement?

I'd want it to be able to zoom in/out, copy image to clipboard, and support a wide range of filetypes (text, PDF, Office...). If it could respect the current file sort order in TC that would be awesome (UV doesn't).

I see UV Pro is 10 years newer than UV Free, but it doesn't mention webp either. I know very little about this area so may be missing an obvious solution. Thank you!

Where is here the problem ?
The free UV supports 32bit TC lister plugins.
So you can add support for almost any formats.
There are 32bit versions of PhotoViewer and Imagine plugins for example
which both support the webp format.
Also SLister for PDF and ULister for all sorts of Office formats are vailable in 32bit.

All this is not necessary if you just add the TC lister plugins to TC itself.
So why do you want UV or UV Pro ?

The Imagine and PhotoViewer plugins both support webp and so does IrfanView.

For IrfanView you have to add the filetype manually like here: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/webpsupport.png

You might want to revise the screenshot, remove the list of mails and other sensitive/personal information.

Thanks a lot - I hadn't noticed that my right screen was included in the screenshot.

Hi and thanks for the replies. I'm not familiar with plugins but that's clearly the way to go. I'll try and work it out.
