libwebp update
Network share enhancements
Picture viewer - default to converted file, added mouse wheel for zoom
AVIF encoders combined to one
Jpeg 2000 and XL added (as well as conversion from and to XL from normal jpg)
32 bit dropped, created legacy version
Overwrite page:
automatically tracks which files exist and shown in red, extension shown also.
'No to All' renamed 'Skip existing' and the button will disable if no files are being overwritten (after renaming)
Overwrite (x) shows how many are being overwritten
also the headers autosize when size window, so extension always shows on edge
