LRF viewer not opening

mazzeltjes · 08-04-2008, 06:48 AM

In version 0.4.80 when I try to open any books,
instead of lrf viewer starting up Calibre starts up.
From inside calibre the viewer does work.
Also,when I try to set : open with lrf viewer/always use this to open
this type of file, windows doesn't recognize lrf viewer and switches
back to opening calibre.

I'm running a dutch version of xp sp3.
Anybody have any thoughts on this ?

Check the properties of the LRF viewer shortcut. Does it point to lrfviewer.exe of calibre.exe

"C:\Program Files\calibre\lrfviewer.exe"

The Lrf icon opens the viewer no problem
what isn't possible is to get the books to
open with lrf viewer by pointing windows
to the viewer, when I do that it still opens calibre
I can use the view option to read alright
but it's an akward thing to do every time
