Webp image not supported

Help

AIO64-6.0.4–1,Python: 3.12.11,sqlite: 3.50.4,orjson: 3.11.2,LANG: en_GB.UTF-8,OS: Windows

Currently there are no thumbnails shown for webp images. Also no preview in the “Media Reference Editor“.
The “Media Reference Editor“ shows “Type: unknown” although the column “Type” in section Media shows “image/webp”. The extension of the image file is “.webp” (all lowercase). No difference if generated with either Gimp or reaConverter.

In file https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/master/gramps/gen/mime/\_pythonmime.py there’s no switch for image type webp.
Already reported in post Image display in gramps.

Will webp images be supported in the near future?
Which image formats are currently supported?

Kind regards, Willy
