Also seems gallery doesn't handle .svg files. When downloading files from content-hub we should present a error dialog to the user saying we don't support the file. Or better yet, we should change our content-hub registration to only advertise file types that we support.

Gallery seems to ignore photo files that do not have a proper metadata or that are not using one of the formats supported by QImageWriter. I am proposing a MR that makes gallery display those files, but since the editing options (rotate, crop, auto enhance) seem not work at all on files that are not supported by QImageWriter, I am disabling the editing options for those files.
