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

P.S. Should have done this before I sent the earlier email. I confirm 
that my version of MC did NOT successfully open .webp files. I edited 
the Extension File and added (by copying and modifying an existing 
section) thus:

### Images ###

[webp]
Shell=.webp
Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh open webp

After saving and closing the file, MC successfully opens a .webp file 
when before the edit it did not.

Regards.
