Hi, I'm running Calibre 6.19.1 in a Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon system.
I also use LibreOffice, which saves files in the .docx format. I want LibreOffice to be the default application for opening .docx files, but unfortunately Calibre somehow gets set as the default application for opening .docx files instead. I have tried setting LibreOffice as the default, and I have told the file manager to forget the association with Calibre (see image). That seems successful, but then later I find Calibre listed as the default again. Is there some way I can instruct Calibre to exclude .docx files? ![]() Last edited by DarrenGedye; 06-03-2024 at 04:30 AM. |

The settings in Calibre affect what happens when you view or edit from the Calibre GUI.
The action when you "open" a file on desktop or filemanager is determined by the default filemanager. Do you have more than one? No problem here, but I'm using Mate on Mint 21.3 and Caja filemanager I can alternately log in using Cinnamon. Which filemanager has that dialog? |

calibre does not manage OS level file associations. It only installs .desktop files that tell the OS what file types it is *capable* of handling. What actual associations happen after that are upto the OS
