Viewer B is launching fine when requested by Calibre, but then fails to open the .pdf file I want to view (and yet, viewer B works fine outside of Cailbre)

Well... that exactly the reason for my question. Calibre is opening with viewer B even though the OS always uses A (after I set it as default)

If I single click (it's Linux) on .pdf in file manage it opens (by default) with viewer A, and yet Calibre will not use viewer A

you can add lines so there is an entry choice for each that you have:
A PDF
B PDF
C PDF |
Thank you for that suggestion
