Support for Rive animations

Looking forward to publishing a first extension to for Opera, but running into an error with supported file types.

We currently have extensions on Chrome and Firefox where we use Rive animations. Rive is awesome and similar to a Lottie file, but arguably better for performance, size and control.

Rive animations are saved with a .riv file extension.

When uploading an Opera extension with a .riv file, the following error is presented:

Invalid type on file: assets/rive/extensionloader.riv

Is anyone from the Opera team able to review and consider adding support for Rive?

Thanks!

Hi @leocg, would you be so kind as to help me refine this feature request and get the right visibility for the issue.

Many thanks!

I don't work for Rive or have any association with them. Just know from experience that our designers and engineers find it awesome.

Especially the State Machine
https://help.rive.app/editor/state-machine

This allows us to ship a single animation .riv file with a bunch of different states (i.e. loading, error, success). It's helped us ship more predictable animations.

Can imaging other Opera developers benefiting from this.
