P: Photoshop 26.7 can't be set as default app for JPGs or TIFs on MacOS

This update broke the "default app" on Mac OS again...

After the Update to 26.7 the default app is set to Adobe Acrobat, double clicking JPG or TIF will open the Preview App. 

Photoshop can not be set as default app, it will always be set back to Acrobat. 

Deleting Photoshop and installing Version 26.6.1 lets you set Photoshop as default and keeps it, so it's a problem of 26.7.

I'm using Mac OS Sequoia 15.5

Please fix this, it's extremely annoying. Thanks.
