Performance is very poor when retrieving .avif metadata from the status bar template.

Reproduction steps:
1.Set the status bar template to "<s:dimension> <prop #203> <prop #315>"
2.Select any .avif file from the file list
3.At this point, XYplorer will hang for several seconds while fetching metadata.

The speed of retrieving metadata from formats like PNG, JPG is all quite fast.
Only the AVIF format has this issue.

v28.30.0.1900 (64-bit) also has the same issue.

Retrieving metadata is handled by the shell via the installed property handlers. XY has no influence on the speed, it's just waiting for the return.

Maybe someone here has a tip for a faster avif handler.
