Affinity Photo hijacked my iPad association for jpg, I want to return it to the default Quick Look.

Clicking on a jpg file in file manager now automatically opens it in APho, how can I return it to view file in “Quick Look”

I suspect sharing is responsible but not sure how.

Permanently change the app used to open all files of a particular type

1. On your Mac, click the Finder icon  in the Dock to open a Finder window.
2. Select a file, then choose File > Get Info. You can also Control-click the file, then choose Get Info.
3. In the Info window, click the arrow  next to “Open with.”
4. Click the pop-up menu, choose an app, then click Change All. Note: Don’t click Change All if you only want the specific file you selected to open with that app.

If you ‘long-press’ (i.e. press and hold) the file’s name or icon in the Files app, the ‘Share’ option on the context menu will let you choose which app should open it. However, I don’t know how to make that choice become the default for files of the same type.

Thanx for replys, but there is no Quick Look option in Share on the iPad. There are options for Affinity products and I use them, it appears that the iPad in its efforts to be “Smart” has decided how I want to open this type of file, and give the user no control.

My apologies, I didn't notice this was the iPad forum when I replied earlier.

I have seen several reports of weird problems with the iPad Files app recently, try deleting it, closing all apps then do a Forced Restart and reinstalling it.

Thanx Paul, yes the iPad file manager is very buggy, even Apple support admit it has problems.

Rant Disclaimer, yeah I know, as someone who craves transparency,  Apple is not a ecosystem I would choose to use, but reliable hardware and software base leave few alternatives.

Seems if the functionality of something makes Apple software easier to use with other software, Apple is not going to make any effort to fix it. Apple recently sued for anti-competitive practices is spot on. Apple great hardware, but business practices are anti-competitive, keep people in dark so they cant use device it in ways that undermine the Apple ecosystem.
