Hmmmm . . . . maybe I wasn't clear. I don't want to use the internal viewer for text files; I want to use another editor. When I look at Preferences -> Behaviour, I only see the choice to use (or not use) the internal viewer for different file types.

If "TXT" is un-checked, then when I double-click on a plain text file in calibre, it opens in my system default editor. I'd like to have it open in a different editor by default in calibre, WITHOUT changing the default for the remainder of the system.

Thanks!

Dan
