Open book folder using app other than File Explorer
Hi,

I'd like to be able to navigate to the folder containing a particular book (using the o key shortcut) and to have my choice of file explorer - XYplorer incidentally, not Windows explorer - open at that folder.

How easy would this be please?

Have you tried making XYplorer the default File Manager - there's a setting in XYplorer for that.

I think that Calibre simply uses what is set as the system default for opening a folder.
