Not a bug WebP: "The uploaded file does not have an allowed extension."

[FedericoS]

Affected version

2.1.x

Hello, I am trying to upload a WebP attachment on my website, but when I try to do it, it says me: The uploaded file does not have an allowed extension.
I did put the .webp extension on Allowed extensions box, but I still can't upload webp attachments. (I also tried to do it in this board).

Thanks in advance

I don't believe XF supports .webp yet. There is suggestion for it,

Implemented - Google WebP Support

This would an amazing enhancement for attachments, especially for sites that use many large pictures. WebP is a new image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller...

I don't know if this is related to webP support, but I just uploaded many webP images as logo/nodes background and the image view works correctly

We don't allow the webp extension on this forum, so an error about the allowed extension would be expected here.

If I allow webp files locally, I don't get the error.

I note you said you put .webp as an allowed extension. You wouldn't be required to add the .. Just enter webp.
