no longer functioning due to "The "imghdr" module has been removed from the Python standard library starting from Python 3.13"

long time no see sir, still using this epic program. i have ran into an error that chatgpt says is due to a new python version 3.13 not supporting this imghdr thing anymore.

Traceback (most recent call last):

now i have no idea what to do about this, chatgpt reccomended using Pillow instead of imghdr

thats the chat archive it gives ideas even in the source code, no idea if it actually read your code or not though but i thought it would be worth sending. thanks!

i don't get why python always makes code breaking changes in its updates, like some things i have to download python 3.10 for even.

if theres no feasible fix like pillow isnt an option, i think pyenv will work for now, thanks a lot! love your program and wish to see it alive.
