Change opening actions

Hello group!

I didnt found my answer in internet by searching (hardly to guess how to search for that) so I try it here. In Android in some Apps (like Skype for example) when you have to choose a file from your phone, there is always a dialog to choose the source of the file. Something like Album or Office or Movies and so on. You can choose there to do it once or always. If you select always it will always open the thing you have chosen. So far so good, but how can i change that action? I mean how can I bring that dialog box back? I tried it by deleting the data files of Skype but this didn't changed anything so I think it must be at some other place. Thanks in advance.

Delete data files and cache files,it should get you back that dialog box.

For example for Skype there are no cache files. So it shouldn't be related to the app itself.

Well,a sony support member advised someone to clear data for a specific app to set to default the opening dialog box.This is new for our phones,lets wait a sony support member to see this.

But it should be this:

Settings > apps > all > clear defaults

Yes,it can be like this,go to settings-apps-all tap the third sensitive button and select reset,but you will reset for all the apps.
