Description
Windows OS version
Windows 10.0.19045
ImageGlass version
10.0.6.906-win-x64
ImageGlass release
Classic
1️⃣ Steps to reproduce
...
2️⃣ Actual behavior
I have a private image (if you need it for reconstruction of the error, please contact me privately) in .heic format which ImageGlass refuses to open with an error message if loaded via the gallery feature (the horizontal bar at the bottom listing the images in dir). However if the image gets loaded directly from the file explorer ImageGlass opens the image but overlays it with the error message. If the file would be corrupted than i assume it shouldn't load at all...
3️⃣ Expected behavior
Open the image without any error or if the file is damaged tell that the file is damaged.

Research direction
Start on Windows 10 with the reported ImageGlass version and reproduce the private HEIC file through both the gallery bar and direct file opening. Compare the two loading paths and their error handling. Done means the HEIC opens without the unsupported-type error, or a genuine damaged-file error is reported consistently.
