[Scribus] You say JPEG, I say JPG (they say JPE)...

File extension oddity.
When exporting a Scribus doc to a JPEG, Scribus uses the file extension
".jpeg". However, when doing a "Get Picture" to fill a picture frame Scribus
does not look for the ".jpeg" (or ".jpe") file extension as a valid supported
format. Yes, the file type filtering can be turned off but it may be
confusing for some users to then see all files (those not images at all).
If nothing else Scribus should show some consistency and export the image with
a file extension it considers a valid format so that it can immediately be
used as the target of a picture frame without renaming or turning off the
"Get Picture" image filtering
Also, the picture format filtering should probably be case insensitive as
well. Currently ".Jpg" or any other such combinations where the file
extension is not all caps or all lower case are missed.
