That's true. OK, you've convinced me: We should go through the list of file types the external converters offer and add the ones that make sense (.webp, .bmp, .etc) to auto-mode-alist, and we should change image-mode's messaging a bit. >> We don't do that with other file types, so why with images? > > We use `perl-mode` even if there's no `perl` installed ;-) We do, but perl-mode still works even if there's no perl installed. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
