How to filter menu context based on file suffix condition

Trying to author a vscode extension to resize an image file. I want to right click an image file type in the explorer to trigger the extension.

I've got the selected item file path from explorer view by passing a vscode.URI parameter to the command from the initial context. But I have a question regarding how to filter the menu to only appear on images:

How can I only show the menu context item when the file is an image type? Is there way to specify something like this in the extension context?

{
   "when": "resourceFilename == CA375AS062_princeton_3750_angle_shader_paint_brush_size_5_8__1000.jpg",
   "title": "Resize Image",
   "command": "fireshop.resizeImage",
   "group": "fireshop-nav"
}

This condition works so left side is right, but I want to detect just the file suffix as .jpg, .jpeg, .png etc. Is it possible? (the docs on the when conditions needs some improvement!)

The solution is to use resourceExtname to "filter" on extension name.

{
    "command": "fireshop.resizeImage",
    "group": "navigation",
    "when": "resourceExtname == .jpg"
}

It was implemented in Oct, 10th with PR 34889
