To my knowledge, an image with file:// either doesn't work or happen to
work as a side effect (example file://image.jpg) which can be seen as a
bug (duration is so short that you hardly realize an image has been
displayed).
So, all image will be better off being considered fake://image.ext where
fake offers a fake clock reference to make them last some time.
As for image with extension not yet recognized by vlc (not yet in
vlc_image.c), whatever access you try will end up with an error anyway.
