Profile page won't accept WEBP images

This is a fun one. I was tinkering with using WEBP as the output format (not as a variant, but as the only output). Even my 2013-vintage Macbook Air can display them (Big Sur 11.6.8, Safari 15.6.1), so I suspect the number of visitors who can't view them is dwindling fast.
But when one uploads such an album to the jalbum.net hosting space, it can't extract a thumbnail image for the profile page. You can't even manually force it to do so after the upload, by "editing" the album.
Console: Uploading "webp" to https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/webp/
Zip stream support detected
"webp" uploaded to https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/webp/ in 1.708s
Posting albumUrl: https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/webp/
Posting thumbnailUrl: https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/webp/thumbs/1929%20Packard%20633%205470.webp
java.io.IOException: Error while adding album. Server reported: Could not read album image. Not an image: url = https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/webp/thumbs/1929%20Packard%20633%205470.webp

No problem within the app itself - the project thumbnail is correctly displayed in the project list. The integrated browser can't handle them, but that's a known problem. |

Yes, only JPEGs (and I think PNGs) are supported as source for album thumbnails. Isn't it quite tricky to generate an album without JPEGs? I didn't even know it was possible...

Documentation usually lags reality by a few versions.
(For my skins, on the other hand, the user's manuals usually reflect the latest unreleased beta!)

If we would not have our highly appreciated help wiki admins we would be stuck in 2015.

Yeah, it's probably best to write the documentation first, in the way you want the software to work. And then implement the features to match the documentation. |

I always start with the UI, then do the documentation (including the screenshots of the settings), then the template coding, and finally updating all the demo albums (which is a good sanity check - I follow it with a validation run).

Ah, and seems to be even easier in my jAlbum, with a drop down menu to select output format... Never seen that before.
Now updated. I was waiting for some texts to get updated and since they didn't I just forgot. Maybe Team Sweden will also fix the oversight  |

Yes, only JPEGs... are supported as source for album thumbnails.
jAlbum 30 has improved abilities to handle WebP images, but the profile page still won't swallow them, I'm afraid! |

Oops. We should prioritize fixing that.

There is no album.rss file in that album so the server doesn't know where the images are. (Though the server-generated album.rss used when a real file is missing should probably support webp too, which might not be the case.) |

I never include RSS files, since I don't use them for anything. But the suggested address for the thumbnail is correct - that's where the thumbnail image is. Copy it, and paste it into your browser!
