how to select different viewers?
Calibre 5.38

I updated to ver 5.38. Selected "view" down arrow & was shown a list of viewers to use for reading the epub with freda+ at the top; freda+ is the system default for epub files. I then selected FBreader which was newly installed from the MS store since it is at ver 2.xxx & listed(?) at the store in 2/11/2022. Previous ver was at the 0.xx beta stage & so wanted to take a look.

The UI has epub unchecked so that, in theory, Calibre would have just loaded freda+ for the viewer; did not happen the 1st time after installing 5.38 as I got a list of apps to select. Problem is that it won't happen again. I would like to be able to use a list for selecting various readers to try out! It was possible but do not know what or how it got working.

Any ideas or did just happen to use a "beta" something or other?
