Steps to reproduce the bug
- open file manager such as Solid Explorer, navigate to folder which has .jxl files
- long press .jxl file to bring up context menu, from there find "open with" menu. In solid explorer this option is under 3-dot menu. Click this option
- popup window appears that do have options such as "Jpeg XL Viewer" (different app) but Fossify Gallery is not there.
Worth noting is that when repeating these procedures for JPG files Fossify gallery is an option. I have not gone tested this with all file formats but it might be worth verifying that this feature works for all common formats and especially the ones that are emerging: (jxl, avif, webp, heic, jpg, png, pdf?, etc...)
Expected behavior
open with fossify gallery is an option
Actual behavior
open with fossify gallery is not there

I tried to reproduce it but I am able to see the gallery as an option to open the jxl file with. Could it be device-specific?
Preview:
Device: API 36.0 Emulator
Android 15+ devices recognize JXL as an image format.
ok. I did this in oneui 6.1. which is android 14 I think.
Nevertheless jpeg xl viewer appears in the menu even in android 14. And IMO it would be good to get this to work in everything with android 10 and newer (or even android 9) as there are plenty of those devices out there (even phones but especially tablets as people seem to be less eager to renew them.
Nevertheless jpeg xl viewer appears in the menu even in android 14
That app probably includes an explicit filter to handle JXL files.
