Research direction
First reproduce the failure in Pix 3.4.7 on Linux Mint 22.2 by using “Convert Format...” with a JPG or PNG and selecting AVIF. Trace the image conversion and encoding path from that action; done means the selected input is converted to a valid AVIF without the NULL argument error.

Bug description
Trying to convert an image to .avif via "Convert Format..." results in this error.
Could not Perform the Operation
Could not encode the image: Usage Error: NULL argument received
I've tried a jpg and a few other .png images to convert to .avif, which results in the same error output.
I've noticed that this issue also occurs when I try using gThumb version 3:3.12.6-1.
Steps to reproduce
- Open image with Pix
- select option "Convert Format..."
Expected behavior
Image depending on saving preference would take some seconds to convert the image to the desired format chosen. In this case .avif
