Add Shortcut to DJVU Files

spooce · 07-06-2022, 02:53 PM

Hello wonderful people! I'm fairly new to using calibre, and I had a quick question about the library management.

Since calibre has no ability to view djvu files natively, is there a way for me to add in a sort of fake book that's really just a shortcut that opens it up in the correct viewer? I'm not sure how this might be accomplished, but I'd like to still have the books in my calibre library even if it can't view them itself. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Preferences: Behavior: Use Internal Viewer for
REMOVE the tick next to DJVU

That causes Calibre to hand the task to the OS (must have a default set in the OS for that type)
