Feature > Add "View with Internal Viewer" to Right-Click > View Menu

[CHESHiRE_CAT]

Hello, is it possible to add an the item: "View with Internal Viewer" to the Right-Click > View Menu?

This makes it easier when wanting to view a specific book in the internal viewer instead of the system-configured default viewer (for desired cases, e.g. formatting is broken in the system's viewer, but is working nicely in Calibre's internal viewer).

The current "workaround" is to go to preferences > behaviour, enable that format for internal viewer, open the ebook, then revert the setting in preferences > behaviour
Or to launch the E-book Viewer externally, and then load the book (recent list, or manually browse) (also a cumbersome option...)

Thank you Kovid Goyal

For future reference -- or use calibre's built in Open With feature.

It's configured via View->View specific format->Open XXXX With... (button bottom right), or via right click XXXX format in Book Details panel and select Open XXXX With....

The Open With items created will available in Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts->Open With.

The feature would be easier to find, if the Open With submenu were in View's drop down and context menus
