Please consider adding support for BPG (Better Portable Graphics) as it is an open format. Thanks :-)

BPG is based on High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, H.265) technology, and these patent issues have not been cleared. I think it's a bad problem for open source programs. (Open source can only solve copyright problems, patent rights cannot conflict)

Will probably not be needed anyway, AVIF might be the better alternative.

@tomchr9 quickviewer is a Qt applications and Qt applications can potentially open any imageformat if there is a corresponding Qt plugin available.
I saw that someone created such plugin http://vr5.narod.ru/qt/bpg/index.html
If you can compile and install the plug-in, you should be able to open the BPG images.
