Set File associations to the portable viewer?
I'm using Calibre portable so I can use it on my desktop pc and my tablet that I read on. When I try and set any file associations - for instance for epub's or mobi's - windows 7 wont do it, is this intentional because it's 'mobile'?
Also I seem to have two different themes for the viewer, one when I open a book from within Calibre's main program and a different one if I open ebook-viewer.exe |

You can always copy the viewer.json file from your calibre configuration folder to the path I cited and then they should be the same. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 01-29-2013 at 07:58 AM. |

Thanks, Doc. I am using it from a local drive. When I try to set the file association in windows 7 I don't get any error message it just wont add ebook-viewer to the list in open-with. I tried moving Calibre Portable's folder into the program files folder but it still refuses.

I've tried a fresh installation of portable and it still refuses to associate ebook formats with the viewer. I can drag an ebook icon onto the ebook-viewer.exe icon and it will open it.
Maybe this is one for the Windows 7 forum... |

Search your registry for an existing file association to ebook-viewer delete it and you will be fine. Or run a registry cleaner.
