When I download an ACSM file, Calibre will always launch and load the file. I then have to delete the file from my Calibre library, and launch Adobe Digital Editions to actually retrieve the epub file so I can load the book into Calibre.

I don't know why Calibre does this. ADE is configured as the app that is called upon when I click on an acsm file, and I can find no where that tells Calibre to pay attention to acsm files. Calibre is configured as the app that is called if I click on an epub file, and it does this as expected. What isn't expected, is that Calibre is called when an acsm file is downloaded.

I use Mac OSX, and have used Calibre in many versions up to the most current -- I don't know whether my frustrating behaviour is caused by a Mac configuration, a Calibre configuration or a gremlin.

Any suggestions appreciated.
