Preference setting to give priority to plugins

Nowadays, whenever there's an image format that both XnViewMP and a plug-in decodes, XnView will only use its own internal decoder.
It would be nice to have a checkbox in the preference settings to give priority to the plug-in decoders, since they might have enhanced features that the internal decoder won't.
The same suggestion applies to XnConvert.

Interesting suggestion. Which plugin or file format do you use?

I use
RECOIL to see a lot of retro image formats, including Makichan and Yanagisawa's PIC.

Does XnViewMP decode RECOIL out of the box?
For my Linux install of XnViewMP, it does not.
However, adding the
Xrecoil.usr file into my
/opt/xnview/Plugins/ folder properly decodes retro image formats, such as "Yanagisawa" PIC. This tells me it's using the external RECOIL plugin, since if I remove the file from the Plugins folder, I cannot view retro images.
