I’m working with some scans from the Internet Archive & their highest quality files are in JPEG2000 format. When I try to import these into Inkscape, there isn’t a specific option in the dialog so they don’t appear. I tried renaming to .jpg but import failed. When I try using “All files” or drag and drop, the import assumes the file is an SVG and it fails again.
Is there something else I need to do to enable .jp2 support or do I have to convert all the files first? GIMP can open them fine.
I could do the conversion, but I think my workflow might be quicker if I didn’t have to.
Inkscape 1.1.2 (0a00cf5339, 2022-02-04, custom), Manjaro Linux (Cinnamon)
Beyond the Basics Import .jp2 (JPEG2000)

Probably need to convert first... Gimp, Irfanview, etc.
This extension which I wrote - then stopped :)
Can import those type of formats to embedded png.
It works on Windows and Ubuntu 21+ however, if you are using another version of Linux - you may have to install PIL etc.
It might work for you.

Thanks. Probably need some editing anyway, so conversion or copy/paste from GIMP is OK.
