Description

We already delay downloading til the user actually loads an image, but with codecs getting bigger, we might want to allow the user to download individual codecs.

There’s a bit of UI work to be done here (can we add download buttons to the codec drop down?) and we prob. need to think about how to handle missing codecs when offline to generate meaningful error messages here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement UI for downloading individual codecs, starting with adding download buttons to the codec dropdown. Handle missing codecs offline by showing meaningful error messages.
