slide WEBP images will not open in the image viewer

Slide version: 0.0.2 Android version: 11

WEBP images will not open in the image viewer. This makes sense given that the format only came into use after the last update Slide for Reddit received.

Interesting, a quick search indicates that this should work anyway. Will investigate, and/or skip webp for image detection for now for the next version

On further investigation, it appears that the fact the images were WEPB may have been a coincidence. A few WEPB images have opened for me. Here is a list of posts that do NOT work: (please note I just went to the top of the last 24 hours for all instances and started clicking everything)

lemm.ee posts fail most of the time, but not always. sopuli.xyz posts failed every time I encountered one, but there were not many. lemmy.world posts worked most of the time, but not all of the time. So it may be related to the instance, or the image host.

Thanks for the extensive testing by the way! I've been wanting to get another feature in before I do a release, but I could do one anyway with the changes so far if you're interested

I think it was actually a bug but just obscured by the image host at times, the content matching algorithm is interesting
