Image Map Editor Not Available for WebP Images in AEM Cloud DAM - Is This Expected Behavior?

Avatar

Level 2

I'm experiencing an issue with the Image Map editor in AEM as a Cloud Service DAM and would appreciate any insights.
Is there a way for adding WebP support to the image map editor?

Issue Description:

  1. Image maps are working correctly for JPEG images - the editor opens and allows me to create/edit image maps
  2. For WebP images, I receive the message: "Editing is not supported for this type of assets"
  3. The image map editor does not appear for WebP format

What I've Tried:

  • Verified that WebP images display correctly in DAM
  • Confirmed JPEG/PNG images work fine with image map editor


Environment:

  • AEM as a Cloud Service
  • Using DAM Asset Editor

hi @SyntaxError_07

The Image Map editor plugin uses a supportedMimeTypes property to determine which file formats can be edited. By default, this configuration only includes traditional formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF and SVG.

To add WebP support to the image map editor, update the supportedMimeTypes property on the image map plugin's configuration node:

<map
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    supportedMimeTypes="[image/jpeg,image/png,image/tiff,image/svg+xml,image/webp]"
                    features="*"/>

I'm not completely certain because I've tried before but after applying this configuration, the image map editor should recognise WebP images and display the editing interface similar to JPEG and PNG formats.
