how to set an alternate reader as default for some file types?
I used to have Calibre set so that when I launched a .lit file it opened in Stanza.
I just upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and somewhere in all of the updating, I broke that relationship and can't seem to find the preference that I had set to do this.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much.

Preferences: Behavior

Use Internal viewer: Un-tic LIT

(assumes that you have an external viewer for Lit installed )

Thanks so much - I've apparently broken Stanza which is why this no longer works.

You can set this in the Mac finder. Also sets default from a launch in Calibre.

Select (highlight) one of the files you want to set (your epub file). Then "Get Info" (cmd I) from the finder. On the info panel it says "Open With".... you can select "Stanza" or whatever. Once you make the selection you can then "Change All" which sets Stanza to be the default app for ".epub"

Hope that helps.
