1️⃣ Describe the feature
Currently it lacks support for .exr mipmaps. They are simply smaller resolution filtered copies a renderer or game engine utilizes for optimizing texture usage and lods, generally auto-converting or offering it with formats such as .tx or .rat being primary examples. While these formats are more specific, mipmapped .exr is generic and versatile so support for at least being able to view the top level mipmap would be welcome.
2️⃣ How to use feature
Just open it like any other image. No mipmap browsing is actually necessary, just being able to view the top level as any image would be more than sufficient.
3️⃣ Additional context
