Description
Describe the bug
When attempting to preview a large image file (png/jpg), quicklook crashes. It seems to be images larger than 10mb or so cause the crash.
Expected behavior
Ideally quicklook would handle images of all sizes to preview, or show and error that the image is too large to preview rather than crashing and closing.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS Version: Windows 10 (multiple versions tested)
- QuickLook Version: v0.3.7 (from installer)

Research direction
Reproduce the crash in QuickLook v0.3.7 on Windows 10 with PNG and JPG files larger than about 10 MB. Trace the large-image preview path from that reproduction; done means large images preview without crashing, or display an error explaining that the image is too large.
