Description:

Gnome's image viewer Eye of Gnome supports opening webp files, but requires the webp-pixbuf-loader package to do so. Listing this as an optional dependency would make it clear what needs to be done to add support for that filetype.

Additional info:
* package version: 42.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

pacman -S eog
eog file.webp
pacman -S webp-pixbuf-loader
eog file.webp
This task depends upon

Technically, webp-pixbuf-loader is already an optdep of gdk-pixbuf2, but yeah, it's not obvious for eog users.

Note: this has come up before  FS#70527   FS#71133 

I'll close this one as another dupe, but will notify the PM (just in case)
