Zip files defaulting to Calibre?
I'm on a MacBook (Monterey 12.6) and have found that Calibre keeps setting itself as the default software for opening Zip archives - which is not what I want. How do I stop this happening?

calibre does nto set itself as the default for any file type. It just informs the system what file types it is capable of handling.

Well, I keep telling my Mac to use the Archive Utility as the default program to open Zip files, but it keeps defaulting back to Calibre. So, there does appear to be an issue here.

There definitely is an issue, unfortunately, I have no access to Apple's operating system, to fix the issue.
