Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

EOG 2.28.1

Here is what I believe to be a png file, labeled a jpg file. If you try to open this, EOG will error with

Could not load image '3409601f2b8c0d3a9be2b61992b9fa5081d0.jpg'.
Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50)

While everything else will just open it... Gimp's image properties says the image is a png. I would say EOG should be more lenient in every sense being a simple viewer.
