Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have these tga files on my system and they are used for software in such a way that they cannot have file extensions. I like to use ImageGlass to preview these files, but it doesn't work unless I add the tga extension to them.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the viewer to be able to open files regardless of whether or not the extension is on them.
Describe alternatives you've considered
IrfanView can do this (it asks if you'd like the file renamed) but I much prefer the open source licensing and visual aesthetics of ImageGlass.

Research direction
Start by reviewing ImageGlass's file-opening entry point and how it identifies supported image formats. Reproduce the issue with an extensionless TGA file, then determine the expected behavior for opening it without renaming and verify that the viewer can still browse and preview it.
