  2. How to set default app for file type jpg

    I would like to change the default app for the file type jpg. I've gone through all the steps for setting a default app but the jpg file extension does not appear in the list and therefore I cannot choose a default.

    When I Open a jpg file it opens in the Photo app. If I look at the Photo app's settings of default file types, jpg is not there.

    Ditto for file type png.

    How can I access the default setting for these and other "hidden" types?
