Re: In Midnight Commander I can press enter on a jpg or gif and they open with Mirage, but webp pictures don't do anything when I press enter

 From the MC Command menu, select Edit Extensions File (F9 > Command > 
Edit Extensions File). This file tells MC how to open files based on the 
file's .XXXX extension. It should be fairly self-explanatory (there is 
information at the top of the file with more information). One can 
specify in this file a particular application to use with a particular 
file extension, or one can tell MC (towards the bottom of the file) to 
use a helper script /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh (this helper script has 
sections for opening an image, or viewing an image).

Interestingly, I see in the extensions file WEBM is specified for my 
version of MC, but WEBP is not.

Regards.
