Files with no or other suffix are false negatives

[FelixHaller]

When performing piexif.load()on a valid JPEG-File named testpic.docx or testpic I get a ValueError saying

Given file is neither JPEG nor TIFF

It's a lie!

Piexif should not consider the suffix to check if the file is valid. I personally use the imghdr python module to check if a file is valid and would appreciate a check=False parameter for piexif.load() to skip unnecessary checks.

Thanks in advance

No file? No code?

Piexif checks SOI.

You can use any jpg file. I attached one anyway. I think the check for SOI doesn't work, because the attached image starts with FF D8 and is reported as no JPEG.

Thank you. But I want to looking for a way not to add argument. Give me a while.
