Hi,

Thanks a lot for the answer. I am doing it this way, and well, even though it is not the optimal solution, is a good workaround. I had to disable a plugin which was opening the zip/rar files automatically and replacing the main pdf

However, I'd like to propose to the calibre devs to consider the option of having several books in the same format for one entry (if that is even compatible with the calibre current architecture, of course).

I can think in some cases in which this feature could be useful:

1.- Having the original and cropped PDF files of a book.
2.- Having the same book in 2 or more different languages.
3.- Keeping the same pdf in B/W and Color
4.- Keeping different revisions of a book/paper

(3 and 4 thinking here in technical books, not novels, of course)

There could be a way to define a "default" document for each format, which the default actions could apply to, i.e if you selected "View Specific Format" and thenn select PDF, the default PDF document would open.

What do you think? Does this make any sense? Is this compatible with the actual calibre internal design?

Thanks a lot for this brilliant app guys.
