Unable to set Photoscape as Default Photo Viewer

Photoscape is an app that is functioning normally.
I want to make it my Default Photo Viewer.
When I go to Settings/Default Apps it is not on the list
On one attempt to set, it stated that Photoscape was "unavailable" (not sure where that occurred)
I have tried a number of paths for default apps in Tutorial section without success
Suggestions for how to get around this barrier?
Thank You
