Default view format

jedavis1 · 09-02-2009, 12:58 PM

It used to be that when I selected a book and clicked on "View" it would pop up the LRF book, now when I click it, it pops up the original RTF file that I had started with... anyway to change the default format to LRF?

I find that I only get the RTF file popped up if I do not have an ePub/LRF version of a book.

Most books I have, I have converted to LRF after formatting in Word and saving as RTF. So most of my books, I have LRF/ePub and RTF in Calibre, when I just click the "view" button, it always pulls up the RTF file in Word (default RTF application).

You have two options. Use view specific format form the view drop down. Or click preferences and order the formats in your preferred order. If the preferred order is not being honored (epub and/or lrf are already before rtf) open a ticket at http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/query and I'll fix it.
