Replace `imv` with some other minimal image viewer (WEBP issues)
imv in its current state doesn't open WebP images.
There is an issue opened for quite some time, to support them.

~Neither, it opens (limited testing) .jpg files. Following image, I have tested with feh and imv. Just like WebP images, imv shows this jpg image as a blank, while feh opens it quite fine.~
~A Quick Google search points out that there is no technical difference between jpeg and jpg except the extension length. So, I change this image's extension to jpeg (which imv opens fine). But for this image it didn't work. It draws a blank only. I'll again point out feh has no problem showing it.~ (Also in the image previews inside nautilus, WebP ~and this jpg~ image show no thumbnail).
~Note: This image is a reference for testing jpg image opening issues of imv.~ Webp images are across the board broken.
For what it's worth that image you attached seems to be webp w/ a jpg file extension 🤔
@jpdombrowski oh, you are right, I don't know why some of my image extensions got messed up.
I think, I will still keep the issue opened, as Omarchy is catered towards devs, front-end and others do extensively use webp now a days.
The case against feh is that it isn’t native Wayland like imv. But the fact that imv doesn’t support WebP is annoying, since it’s explicitly set up as the xdg default for webp.
swayimg might be a neat alternative. It brings good hyprland support and would even be kinda themeable.

I just knew feh from my i3 days. I came back to window managers after years of DEs use. So, it's the only one came to my mind immediately for testing.

I will definitely test this out.
To fix WebP thumbnails not showing up in the Nautilus, install the following program.
sudo pacman -S webp-pixbuf-loader
imv v5 was released with WebP support, and it’s already in the Arch repos.

Thank you. I'm closing this issue as completed.
