Description

I'm hoping the compositor isn't relevant here, because I am using labwc and I understand support for it is new around the block.

I'm making a custom shell script where I am using DMS's screenshot utility, but I am replacing the saved PNG file with a JPEG XL instead for file space reasons. Since I am deleting the original PNG file, the default notification really doesn't serve its intended purpose and I am making a custom notification with the right file name, and even try and add rich functionality by allowing myself to easily open the captured screenshot and the folder it is in, as this is how dms notify works with the --file flag.

However, by passing a JPEG XL file, the entire shell freezes and becomes unresponsive, forcing me to restart the shell completely.

Upon further testing, I notice this happens with any JPEG XL file when I just run the notify command.

Expected Behavior

What I was hoping was that when dms notify ran, it would pop up with the notification telling me I captured a screenshot, and it would directly link to the JPEG XL file, allowing me to open the image itself or open the folder it's in.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make sure you are running on DMS.
2. Download or create a JPEG XL image and have it anywhere
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing your JPEG XL.
4. Run dms notify "My JPEG XL File!" --file [[NAME OF YOUR JPEG XL FILE]]

Error Messages/Logs

I tried to figure out what the problem is by running the debug server, and hoping QuickShell would give me some sort of error that might be happening, but the debug server doesn't tell me anything.

Screenshots/Recordings

Screenshot in progress

Post-screenshot. DMS Freezes attempting to notify that the screenshot was made

Proof This Bug Doesn't Happen with a PNG

When using a JPEG XL file, I get a freeze every single time
