Opening URLs in Calibre 7
I have Calibre installed on two machines. Both machines run Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. One of the Calibre installations is version 6.4; the other installation is version 7.1.
In the older version, I can click on the file format of a source file (in my case, ODT) and Calibre opens LibreOffice Writer with the source file loaded. In version 7.1, clicking on the ODT file has no effect. I see that a new tweak has been added: "Change the programs that are run when opening files/URLs" and I added the following tweak: openers_by_scheme = {'odt': 'libreoffice --writer %u'} This had no effect. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I CAN right click on the extension and select LibreOffice Writer and the program opens just fine, but this is pretty clunky. |

Clicking ODT on my system--Mint 21.2, caliber 7.5.1--opens the file with LibreOffice Writer. Try updating caliber.

To discover what calibre is seeing as the default program for ODT, try right clicking the ODT in Book details, and then hover on Open with… — if Writer's not there, fix your OS defaults. If it is there BR |

ALso suggested is to update the 7.1 install to the latest version. Some bugs have been fixed.
