Hi, theducks;
Let me clarify what I said in the OP: the external viewers
do indeed work under Linux.
If I use the KDE, start Calibre, and try to view, say, a PDF file from the library, then okular is called and it shows the PDF file just fine.
If I use Gnome, start Calibre, and view the PDF, then okular is also called (it's my preference over the Gnome-default evince), and I can view it just dandy.
If I use LXDE, start Calibre, and view the PDF, something doesn't work: an Error box with the message "No such file or directory" is displayed.
Under LXDE, pcmanfm displays PDFs just fine -- okular is selected as the preferred PDF viewer.
This has nothing to do with using the tick-box to choose the internal Calibre viewer or not; it also has nothing to do with the OS, since the OS isn't changing between using KDE or LXDE. The error message "No such file or directory" indicates that Calibre is looking for *something*, but it's misdirected to a nonexistent file or directory.
How can I change that behavior?
Thanks!
