It is a global change so will apply to all applications though.
Otherwise I am unsure what you mean by interfere? |
I thought I said that too

IE would be the same, I'd have an icon stack. Some people hate ribbons, I hate stacked icons in taskbars, especially task bars that emulate a Folies Bergère chorus line
I have my task bar configured to combine instances of the same program into a single taskbar icon stack. Most of my everyday-use applications have tabbed interfaces (in some cases I've paid for Add-ons to enable that) so when I see such programs icons stacked up I regard it as abnormal and in need of attention.
By interfere I mean this - I am conducting financial transactions in my default browser, during a trading lull I go to the calibre GUI to do some work on my _Main library. I'd
prefer that the default browser tab set not be disturbed by a 'random' Amazon page opening when I inadvertently click on
Amazon.com rather than
Click to Open.
Yes I could conduct my trading in a browser other than my default browser, and yes I could set the default browser to say IE or Safari while I have active stock trade transactions on the go. And then set it back again.
But having bent Evernote to not use the default browser in some cases, I wondered if something similar could not be done for calibre. Or better yet have an option to use a built-in/integrated very lightweight web viewer incorporated into calibre. I have a feeling it couldn't be easily done with a plug-in, but I'd love to be told otherwise.
