Calibre for the Mac

Kovid,

Would it be possible to make what I hope is a minor change?

In the mac implementation of Calibre, the ebook-viewer is part of the main app, rather than being it's own .app file. Would it be possible to make it be it's own .app as well?

Reason I ask is that file associations on a mac are done from a file extension to an .app. With the ebook-viewer being a part of the contents of the main calibre app, there's no way to associate the files with it.

What this means is that every time you click on a .lit or .epub or whatever file, it attempts to open it using the main calibre app and re-add it to your library.

If you made the ebook-viewer available as a separate app as well, we could associate it with the various file extensions and be able to automatically open them with it.

Hoping that will be a simple thing to do, because I think it would be a big help for mac users
