Desktop Screenshots Won't Open On Click Of Mouse

My desktop screenshot thumbnails have always opened in Preview on clicking. This has stopped happening and I am having to right click and the Open. Makes this a long winded process.

I'd appreciate ideas on how to restore this setting.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.5
