TagStudio Version

9.5.3

Operating System & Version

Win11 (friend with Win10 also has this issue)

Description

it appears something about the new version is causing weird issues with the windows photos app

such as: crashing, being unable to zoom, and it being unable to read image properties (such as file size)

Expected Behavior

it opening it with out issue, no weird quirks (im not sure if not being able to view other photos in the folder is a quirk to the intentions of the feature but its kinda annoying)

a "tagstudio" photo viewer when ever thats done could fix most of this, though probably keeping the system file viewer option around is probably still a good idea

Steps to Reproduce

Use windows

i don't know if it only uses the windows default image viewer but if it does set it to photos to test

attempt to open a photo any photo, the issues appear randomly witch is odd

this issue also completely breaks it trying to open gif files as they just don't animate due to this issue in photos
