Open images even when the file extension is not correct #115

Issue Occasionally I receive JPEG files with the file extension "PNG". This results in Xviewer showing an error when trying to open the file. "Fatal error reading PNG image file: Not a PNG file" One has to run "file t.PNG" to find out which file extension it should have and rename it.

Steps to reproduce Rename a JPEG file to the file extension "PNG" and try to open it.

Expected behaviour Xviewer should open the JPEG file and show a message that the extension is wrong (and maybe also suggest renaming it for the user).
