Feature to correct file extensions

[jeffsenn]

I get a fair number of these errors when trying to embed using exiftool. (b/c exiftool determines type by file extension and won't recover if there is a mismatch):

✍️ Embedding metadata: [🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜] 62% (31382 / 50146)Error: Not a valid HEIC (looks more like a JPEG) - .../IMG_xxxx.HEIC
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors

Desirable feature: if that error happens, then attempt to re-name file and re-try exiftool command.
Ironically exiftool has the perfect command to determine file type:

exiftool -FileType yourfile.heic --> File Type : JPEG

It would be possible to do this as a post-copy step on the whole corpus, but maybe not that efficient since, even though I have a lot of these, they are a small overall percentage of everything

PS Great tool! Very helpful!

it will not be an efficient process to recheck everything again for their exact filetype -
but i do remember adding a step to check original filetype of any file

im not active on this project currently

will try my best to think of a good solution for this in the next coming version

Thank you ! Glad the tool was helpful
