egg - xara is uncompressing the webp into the gallery and like acorn said it has always uncompressed images; it does that for png and jpeg; it does it so you are editing an uncompressed file, that surely is how it should be....

not seeing this egg - maybe I am misunderstanding, but just tried this and the bitmap gallery shows the uncompressed size, as it does with the webp; and like I said in previous post its as it should be, I would not want edits to be made on the compressed version
as far as better converted to jpg; maybe xara is not yet convinced webp has replaced them...? I have it switched out anyway

Not on my machine. If I import a jpg the Bitmap Gallery reports it as such.... it has always uncompressed images; it does that for png and jpeg;
It doesn't do this for .png's which it reports as a Standard Bitmap.
The same is true for imported webp images. Standard Bitmap.
So I have two questions
1: Why are .png & .webp images not imported as such? .jpg's are.
2: Why is Xara recommending converting smaller .webp images to .jpg?

From the help menu:
Which with the inclusion of webp is no longer normally valid?Automatic conversion to JPEG
The JPEG image format is usually the best choice for photo images, because it maintains high quality with smaller file sizes. So when you import non-JPEG photo files, Xara Designer Pro+ will examine the image to see if it would be more appropriate as a JPEG. If so, a prompt is shown giving you the option to convert it to JPEG on import. This reduces the size of your document files and reduces memory usage when editing.

I didn't say anything about it's label [name] in the bitmap gallery egg - i was taliking about it's size, and the jpeg size is uncompresed, just like png and webp, that was my point in answer to:
when I re-import a jpeg [that I saved compressed] it gets imported uncompressed; they all doHowever if I open a new page and import jpg.jpg it reports a file size of 143Kb which I'd expect.
But when I import webp.webp I'm informed it would be better imported as a jpg, which I ignore. The Bitmap gallery reports it as 7Mb !!!
I see no sense in converting jpeg to webp as I've said; xara may not have got round to looking at this aspect, or they may just think most of their clients will still prefer to work in jpeg format
