XYplorer keeps opening image files with old "Windows Picture Viewer" regardless of default app settings

Hello,
I use XYplorer under Windows 11 Pro Turkish - release 23H2. XYplorer cannot read or does not care about which image viewer is set to default in OS settings and always opens the images with legacy "Windows Picture Viewer". I tried with default Photos app and Irfanview, no luck.

When I try the file via windows explorer, it opens with the right default app. Any tips?

Thanks and best wishes.

Check your custom file associations...

Spot on!!! I didn't know there was such a tool, and how that setting got there but it worked. Couldn't see it because it is not under "Configuration" window.

Not a bug after all, can be moved or deleted.

Thanks alot @highend.
