From the File types list, select Plug-ins.
Set these options:

Allow file format plug-ins to request pre-filtering of support file types Some plug-ins can open files that Paint Shop Pro also supports. Mark this check box to allow a plug-in to try to open (pre-filter) the file before it opens in Paint Shop Pro.

Choose File > Preferences > File Locations to open the File Locations dialog.
From the File types list, select Plug-ins.
