Request for adding suport for JPEG XL

I like FastRaw viewer for culling images, raw and jpg, but sadly, it does not support newer and more efficient formats like JPEG XL or even if. I'm trying to transcode my image archives to JPEG XL, but there is no easy way to cull them or view them.

We are very picky in choosing supported formats: each new format is not an addition of a small plugin, but a thoughtful and large work to support all the important features of the format (also: color data handling, metadata handling, efficient parallel decoding of multiple files and/or single file in parallel, etc, etc).

As a general rule: we support only those formats that are recorded by cameras, hence the main list: RAW, JPEG, TIFF, HEIC/HIF.

The last thing we would like to do is follow the path of viewers of "500+" formats, each of which is not fully supported.

Therefore, we cannot promise anything regarding the requested JPEG-XL support.
