I installed VLC a few days ago as recommended by a bunch of board members and have a problem with the program .... I installed it to run video objects only not my photos .... I like my gThumb for pictures ....
Whenever I open my Pictures Folder VLC loads and shows the photo for about 20 sec closes and displays the VLC splash screen ....
I need to find a way for to only open pictures in my gThumb app .... any suggestions will be appreciated .... see photos below .....

For any file: Right click -> properties-> open with -> choose default application to open that type of file.

I think I found the solution .... VLC was trying to open all png files as movies so I did this ....
VLC/ Tools/ Preferances/ Video/ Format/ ..... change png to jpg

Nope that didn't work either .... batting 0% today ....
Open settings, applicants -> defaults or default applications (depends on DE). Switch to the extensions tab or choose by extension. In the search box type jpg, jpeg, png, gif and any other image extension you use. These should be the only ones showing. Click on the right side and choose the application that should open them by default.

@Frog How did you install VLC? Not a Snap or Flatpak by chance?

I don't think so ..... how do I find out what is installed using Snap or Flatpak .... I normally use the terminal or Synaptic ....

If it’s not on Synaptic it’s likely a Snap. Confirm with snap list
and flatpak list

mike@mike-ROG-Strix-G731GT-G731GT:~$ snap list
No snaps are installed yet. Try 'snap install hello-world'.

Windows version through Wine (Windows app support)?
To check, open your home folder and of hidden files are not visible then press ctrl+h to show them. There would be a folder .wine
- if no folder then you didn’t use wine.

If you open Zorin Software Store and Installed Tab. Do you see VLC as installed app there?
If you do, scroll down and you will see the source.

Maybe through apt?
Check using:
apt list --installed

I'm beginning to think maybe I deleted the program as I can't seem to find it anywhere and it isn't listed in my All Applications or Installed in the App Store ....
I've done so many installs and uninstalls the past few days I'm not sure what I did ....
