David,
In your case, it might be worth following Bob’s advice in post 14 above. It’s maybe a question of confirming that Preview is the default app for jpegs as well as for pdfs.

@Tomos, you said:
I have same issue every time I click on the preview icon in the dock it goes to my PDF files, it used to open jpeg but for some reason it don't any longer.
What I suspect happened is that some other application was installed and took over as the application default for jpg files. Could be just about anything that can show images.Jake

A good explanation and possible solution Jake, and I hope those affected will try the suggested fix and report back if it fixed the problem or not.
BTW: I thought the "sandboxing" was to prevent any app installs from making such changes if that was happening.

Patrick, I have seen in some installations that when you give permission to the installation, you are also giving permission for it to make system changes. Sandboxing cannot prevent user-permitted changes like that. The lesson to be learned is to read what you are agreeing to, don't just click on "Agree."

You got that right Jake and I forgot that the option was sometimes offered, and up to the user to notice, but that's almost like suggesting that the user RTFM!!!
RTFM = Read The Friendly Manual... in polite terms, for those who didn't know!!! Various other versions exist...

Well, at least that's half the questions answered.
BTW: Have you tried either of these fish and chip shops that just got nominated as some of the best??
The two Welsh chippies just named among the UK's top 20 fish and chip shops - Wales Online
I wonder if they are really good or if it's just part of an advertising gimmick.
PS: Don't bother commenting on the mushy peas, we don't appreciate them here and not a single decent fish and chip shop will even serve them.
