How is stated the default format among several?

Hello !

When I have a book with several available formats, how can I make one of them be the default format to open specifically for this book?

I think that in general the default format which will be opened for a book is the first format entered in the database at the creation of this item of the database. But if I later add several other formats, how can I change the default format to be opened for this book.

Example:

I have created an item "Charles Dickens, the complete collection all-in-one" by importing this book in the MOBI format.

Then a few days later, I add the EPUB and the PDF format to this item (exactly the same book but now in these two new formats, both have been added by a drag&drop in the container visible in the metadata management pane of the item) in the database. Therefore the item contains automatically now the three books in its internal directory. I of course can choose the format to open by a special click each time at the rightmost side of Calibre. But I now have to click each time in this special link so it's not perfect. From now on I would like that for this item it is never more the MOBI format which must be opened by the button "View" in the tool bar at the top of Calibre but the PDF format.

How must I do ? I have not found the answer in the help of Calibre.

Thank you!
Jacques
