@cybmole - if you're asking -- so, how do I select a specific program with point and click, look at my previous post
Select the format you're interested in, click Open with button, double click the program you want to use. In my example that would be ADE, Sigil, calibre book viewer, or WinRAR. I, of course, would use the kb short cuts ![]() I just noticed Kovid included the ability to change the icon * ![]() Added 1 @Anothercat - no need for kb shorts. Click the View icon drop down, select View specific format you want, click Open with button, double click the program you want to use. Not too different from Windows/File Explorer. IMO the fewer PI's one has, the less things to go wrong. I hasten to add I probably wouldn't be using calibre were it not for the plugins. Added 2 And at the risk of repeating myself yet again Quote:

Versus: Mouse clicks with the Open With plugin =2 with almost zero navigation distance (just that in the drop down). Quote:
I would have hoped that would be seen as a comment rather than a negative reaction as I, unlike someone else did with regard to the PI ![]() Now, if using the built in option I can get to the opened application with 2 clicks and trivial navigation between then I am all ears and would welcome that ability to be able to do so.

I don't believe there is any intention to delist the Open With plugin, and it won't magically stop working just because there is a builtin alternative
![]() And davidfor has implied he will continue supporting, which should help if any bugfixes or incompatibility with new calibre changes show up. I also suggested in the support thread that it is still needed for WinXP. |

One reason I think the built in OW its much better is because its aware of what the user has configured with Windows Open With. Makes it easy to for new users especially -one thing less to learn - this is what calibre offers me for MP4 files - out of the box. Setting those up with the PI would a pain in the butt

Aaah - but you didn't address a specific user - that means you were addressing the thread in its entirety

Thank you for all the extra info. My head swirls from trying to take it all in.
Hence a follow-on question to this thread (and a long shot but maybe I get lucky): I have a tendency to forget keyboard shortcuts within a short period of time (hence my being a very happy GUI user). In windows, shortcuts are marked on the menu entries by having an underscore under the letter that is used for the shortcut. Is there anything I can use that displays my shortcuts on the screen in caliber as a visual reminder? Many thanks, |

Anywhere the GUI menu option shows up in calibre, it will print the corresponding keyboard shortcut afterward (if applicable, of course).
You can also check through the list in Preferences at any time. |
