Research direction
First reproduce the crash in Pix 3.2.2 on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon using a Sony A7CR losslessly compressed ARW file alongside its JPEG. Trace the RAW-file handling reached when navigating from the JPEG, and verify that Pix either displays the RAW or shows an unsupported-format icon without crashing, including for corrupted image files.

Frequency
Always
Bug description
If there are losslessly compressed RAW files (ARW extention) in the open directory in PIX, PIX hangs/crashes with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
Steps to reproduce
Take a picture with JPEG & RAW saved on a SONY A7CR camera, have the RAW format be losslessly compressed. move files to computer, double click the JPG file navigate to the other picture and PIX hangs or crashes.
Expected behavior
Either display the image of the RAW file, or show an icon that indicates that PIX does not recognize the file format. Pix should not crash no matter how corrupted any image file is.
Additional information
Pix does not crash with uncompressed RAW files.
