$ file *
X.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image...
$ emacs X.webp #binary mess
$ ln X.webp X.gif
$ emacs X.gif #works fine
It doesn't matter what the suffix is: jpg, gif all work the same. Just
webp is not recognized yet.
emacs-version "26.3"

Emacs 27 can display these image formats if you have
(setq image-use-external-converter t)
But this bug report reminded me that we had agreed on defaulting these
exotic image formats to `image-mode', so I've now done that (as well as
fixing the UX of being unable to display images slightly).

Renaming .webp to .gif displays it, but also spews into stderr:
Decoded /tmp/magick-6240. Dimensions: 320 x 214 . Format: lossy. Now saving...
Saved file /tmp/magick-6240
Looks like debug info, should such fprintf be disabled?
Anyway, maybe these messages are less relevant since now we have
image-converter:

Thanks. I tried now to enable image-use-external-converter and visit
a webp image, but it signals an error:
Cannot display image: (Searching for program No such file or directory gm)
I don't know what this 'gm' is, never used it. I have only 'convert'
installed. Is it supported by image-converter?

Yup. But it looks like there's an error in the detection machinery;
I'll investigate.

This should now be fixed.

Thanks, now finally it's possible to view webp images in Emacs without effort.
