Please elaborate why. If we put (say) .webp into auto-mode-alist, but we can't read .webp files, then image-mode will end up issuing an error when called on these files. Besides, what formats "gm convert" supports changes over time. By consulting it, auto-mode-alist will be automatically updated without us having to do anything. >> Uhm.

Yup. I meant "do nothing" in the image-mode context, which means "show the data as raw bytes and signal an error". -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
