Description
Problem
When double-clicking "JPG"-files, fman asks every time to confirm the app to use, despite the fact that
i) windows correctly detects and uses the chosen default app in the MS File Explorer
ii) on previous opening of a JPG-file, I have marked the chosen app with the tick on "set as default"
This problem is independent of the app selected as "default app", and independent of the file format (JPG, TIFF, ...)
Setup
- Windows 10 Education, Build 19041
- fman 1.7.3

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 Education, build 19041, using a JPG file and the “set as default” option when prompted. Compare fman’s repeated prompts with Windows File Explorer, and consider the issue done when the selected app is remembered for subsequent image-file openings across formats such as JPG and TIFF.
