ebook doesn't open in Calibre libray

[Jan76]

Hi everyone!

I'm Gianluca from Italy and I'm new here.
I'm using Calibre since some months but some weeks ago, out of curiosity, I opened the windows of the editor mode.
Nothing went wrong, but after that, trying to open an ebook in Calibre main program, the ebook open directly on the editor mode, without adding it on the library.

How to solve this problem?
Thanks

Somehow you told windows to use the editor as the default for EPUB.
Personally, I use Viewer if I try and launch from the file system, but you need to go reconfigure Windows treatment of EPUB to use calibre.exe

Or simply drag the book into the Calibre window if you want to add

Hi, I mean I simply opened the editor from the viewer, and now when I try to open an ebook with a double click, the ebook doesn't charge in the library but it's charged on the editor. I don't think Windows setting have something to do with it

I agree with theducks. If you use Windows, right click on the book you are trying to open and click Properties. Select "Open with..." then click the change button. Change the associated program to "The main calibre program" instead of "The calibre editor". Apply the changes and everything should be back to normal.

If you use something other than Windows, the procedure should be similar even though the labels may be a little different. Good luck.

AFAIK you can't get to Editor (T) from the viewer (V).
Note: The main Calibre interface is NOT 'the viewer'
This Tweak controls double-click in the main Calibre Interface

ID: doubleclick_on_library_view

You can control the behavior of double clicks and pressing enter on the books list. Choices: open_viewer, do_nothing, edit_cell, edit_metadata. Selecting anything other than open_viewer has the side effect of disabling editing a field using a single click. Default: open_viewer. Example: doubleclick_on_library_view = 'do_nothing' You can also control whether the book list scrolls horizontal per column or per pixel. Default is per column.
