Clear and concise description of the problem
Importing AVIF or JXL files into an object shows them as generic files and not as images.
Suggested solution
Show them as pictures as is already done for established image formats.
Alternative
No response
Additional context
Chromium 146.0.7680.216 which is what the current version of electron used (at the time of writing) targets, already supports AVIF natively. JPEG-XL is also supported but is disabled by default, but will become enabled at Chromium version 155. So my understanding is AVIF could be supported now assuming no other blockers exist, and JXL when the project eventually targets chromium 155.
