Container type is detected using magic numbers, images are identified based on extension (as there might be a few hundred of them in a container, so checking their magic numbers would be too slow).
Support for more container & image formats can be added, if technically feasible.

Well, I'm quite surprised that it did even that. It has probably just detected the epub as a zip container and then showed all images it could find in it.

Yep - for now. I'm thinking about adding support for PDF, if I can find a suitable library for it.
