6.1.0 can't load preview of webp image - Windows 10

[onmyouji]

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Czkawka version: 6.1.0
• OS version: Windows 10

Bug Description
Preview image doesn't load for webp image type. It gives an error:
Failed to open image example.webp, reason Couldn’t recognize the image file format for file “example.webp”

[qarmin]

This worked in 5.1.0 because used image-rs image loading instead gdk-pixbuf.

I tried to use https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-webp-pixbuf-loader?repo=mingw64 and manually put there webp loader, but shows instead error

Also seeing this in 6.1.0 on Win11 64 Pro. I have the "WebP Extensions" installed from the Windows Store but there's just zero preview for any WebP files.

App uses native gtk libraries for loading previews, so installing other apps will not fix this problem.
Krokiet - new frontent - uses rust native image loader and all tested files should show proper preview

[conradsrc]

I see, is Krokiet compile-it-yourself-only at the moment? Looks like the built releases are only the GTK version so I compiled the Krokiet version and I assume it's still very WIP.

That said, I do like the default styling of this Slint toolkit, and it fixes both this WebP issue as well as the DPI scaling issue on Windows (on the GTK version, I needed the gtk.css tweak to scale things up to a usable size), and it seems very performant. I might just keep using this version since the Image Dupe search seems to be working and that was the main thing I was using it for.

Best of luck porting everything over, I'd help if I had the time or Rust knowledge!

Sorry for the noob question, but is Krokiet currently only meant to be tested by people who know how to compile? 'Cause I'm completely clueless about that, and the read-me didn't help. 😖

Thank you for your work in creating Czkawka, it's really nice.

@softlypink I believe that's the case since it's still missing a bunch of functionality from the current release version. Someone correct me if compiled binaries for Krokiet are being hosted anywhere.

Binaries for mac/linux/windows are build each time new commit is added to repo, and can be downloaded from - https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/actions

For now app only have 3 modes, missing a lot of features like selecting items and might be a little unstable

[vincerubinetti]

Anyone have a workaround for this? Would downgrading to an earlier version help? Any way to patch the install (without recompiling the whole thing) to get this working?
