Images are saved as .webp instead of original format (JPG, JPEG, PNG, etc.)
-
@Kepke I doubt if any website would serve different images depending on the site traffic. If you save the image and it has a *.webp format, chances are that it is an WebP image. Open it in IrfanView. If the extension is incorrect, it will tell you and offer to fix it.
A link to the page might help us to confirm the true format of the images.

With this picture/thread on reddit i have this .webp thing consistently. Thread and Picture
As for using IrfanView, i'd like to avoid extra work if i can help it.

@Kepke I suggested IrfanView to diagnose the image type.
The image is a JPG image, and downloads with a *.jpg extension.

@Gwen-Dragon
That was already suggested once and i've done it. I've now checked once more and it still shows .jpg as value. I have linked a picture that always saves as .webp further up there, can you try drag&dropping it on your desktop and see what happens?@Pesala said in Windows: Images save as .webp and i'd like it to stop

That's way to much work to get a picture...

What I am trying to do is diagnose why you are not getting the expected results. I am not suggesting that you should use IrfanView to fix the file type. As I said, the file is a JPG already. There should be nothing to do but download it.
Something on your Windows installation is broken.

Ah ok, i apologize. I did not understand your intention. I installed IrfanView and got the "needed" webp.dll plugin it asked for.
It did not give me a error after the first time asking for the plugin.
For whatever reason, the format changes during drag and drop. I don't know if i mentioned it, but in the explorer the file isn't a ".webp" but a "Vivaldi HTML Document".

Hello Kepke , Yo . How are you doing?
properties
possible to see a preview text/html. A preview webp..The image is jpg.
Look at image size for compare; the dimension x,y size not the Kb. differ for preview.
i not drag and drop anything. [ webp by go is quick and good quality. as advertised. opinion.]

This is a long standing known bug. Any file type associated with vivaldi is listed as html. If you enable file extensions in Windows explorer you can see that it's just a visual bug.
-
So it all just depends on the host if drag and drop will "work"?
-
Oke, i always assumed drag&drop was the same as RMB+Save As.
Do we have a shortcut in vivaldi that would allow me to click on any picture and save it without the windows prompt popping up?
-
@Kepke Not yet. We are still waiting for Ctrl+Click on Images to Save Them.
-
We've seen that Google image search seems to use webP a lot; if using Google always click the link to load the original.

@espinozaeric Wow, I think you're the first GAN-image spammer I've seen here
What's up with your hair, it looks like you're using an Amy Winehouse (RIP) wig?
-
@espinozaeric I do not know why we should convert a MP4 video into a WebP image? Really?
I use ffmpeg to convert images, audios and videos.
Why? It works.
And i do not have the need to upload content to untrusted websites who could steal my data. -
Will this weird issue ever be fixed? I've faced it for the first time and it was quite unexpected that any way of saving JPG image from site (that I can perfectly open in a new tab and view as JPG, and open its properties to make sure its JPG) only suggests this weird WEBP format instead and doesn't allow to download original files!
I've saved entire page as HTML+images and got a bunch of this stupid WEPB files. What is even more strange, some of images were saved as JPG but most as WEBP, what kind of weird logic does so?I'm just updated to 4.1.2369.11 (Stable channel) (64-bit) and this is still so...
I would agree to be able to save to WEPB as an OPTION but not ALWAYS without any user permission...

@mvv_ it's not the browser the one deciding to save webp files instead of jpg files, but the site where you are downloading images is serving you webp images because it detects it's a browser able to manage webp files. Have you even tried to read the start of this thread before posting? It was already said.
Where are you seeing this? -
@mvv_ Please report your issue to the webmasters of such broken web sites.
Or you use a external proxy program/browser extension which manipulates the HTTP-Accept header sent to browser, reducing the header to:
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml -
