When changing the default photo application to 'Shotwell Viewer' to view
images I do assume that it opens all kind of image formats that it is
capable of viewing → .png

For a dev png might be not an image format but for the people out there
- they don't know what the differences of jpg and png are and when to
use the one or the other.

The reason I use 'Shotwell Viewer' is because of its editing skills, for
the rest I don't see (as user) any differences to 'Image Viewer'.

  Affected: png, gif, svg, xpm (maybe more)

  What you expected to happen:
