File Finder on Mac

HowardBrazee · 11-09-2019, 07:48 PM

I uninstalled PathFinder after it updated to a version I hadn't decided whether to pay for.

Trouble is, Calibre still tries to run PathFinder when I open containing folder for a book.

How do I tell Calibre to use Apple's Finder?

calibre simply tells the OS to open folders, what happens next is up to the OS. I'm not a mac user so I cant tell you how to change the program used to open folders in the OS settings, but some googling should show you that.

Right-click on a file that uses the file type you'd like to change the default for. e.g. an epub
Click on Get Info in the pop-up.
Click Open With if the section isn't already expanded.
Click the dropdown and choose an app.
Click Change All...
Click Continue when the Finder asks you if you're sure.
