Description kp.stolk 2011-09-16 22:24:34 UTC 
I was trying to use Google's WebP image format and installed both libwebp and libwebp-dev. 

Nautlius doesn't support this filetype for showing thumbnails? Now it says that these files are 'RIFF-audio' filetypes.

I'm not a developer so I hope I'm posting this at the right place...

Which Nautilus version is this about?

You could go to /usr/share/mime/packages (if that's the path on your system) and search the files for this mime type (»grep -r "image/webp" .«).

I don't consider this a Nautilus problem but rather a missing definition in shared-mime-data (which is not GNOME-specific). Its bugtracker is located at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=shared-mime-info
Comment 2 kp.stolk 2011-09-23 14:45:13 UTC 
The Nautlius version I'm running: GNOME nautilus 2.32.2.1

"image/webp" does not exist in any of the files in /usr/share/mime/packages/.

I hope this can be fixed where it should be fixed.
