Hi one and all,

I have been using Calibre, an excellent piece of software, for quite a while on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

The latest version of Calibre, 5.12.0, opens as default application on virtually all applications on Ubuntu 20.

As example, I downloaded a .brd file, a type of cad file, and when I click on it, Calibre tries to open it. It also tries to open .flac files etc

I could of course go into the system settings and remove all calibre entries except those for epub, mobi etc which in iteslf is quite an undertaking, but why should it do this?

Any ideas?
