Clicking ODT on my system--Mint 21.2, caliber 7.5.1--opens the file with LibreOffice Writer. Try updating caliber.

In the older version, I can click on the file format of a source file (in my case, ODT) and Calibre opens LibreOffice Writer with the source file loaded.

In version 7.1, clicking on the ODT file has no effect. I see that a new tweak has been added: "Change the programs that are run when opening files/URLs" and I added the following tweak:

openers_by_scheme = {'odt': 'libreoffice --writer %u'}

This had no effect. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

I CAN right click on the extension and select LibreOffice Writer and the program opens just fine, but this is pretty clunky.
