Bug Description
In Pinta 2.1 release notes is stated that Pinta supports WebP image format.
Installed Pinta 2.1 using snap package and also flatpak package on Ubuntu 22.10 and in both cases WebP does not work. Can't open WebP image and also can't save WebP image.
I usually use .jpg or .png, so it is not super important for me, but it may be for some other users.
From release notes https:/
Can you please contact downstream snap and flatpak maintainers to also package WebP package to enable support for WebP.
If for some reason WebP is not been able to work for Linux snap or flatpak, then please update release notes.
