Description

Describe the solution you'd like
when browse directory of images where filenames are named e.g. foo instead of foo.jpg, QuickLook only shows

Actually the file foo is image file.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue with an image file named foo without an extension, then trace the QuickLook image-preview handling and identify how the file type is determined. Done means the file previews as an image just like an equivalent .jpg file, with coverage for this case.
