[Solved] Help files open with ebook editor (Calibre)

Post by Baasha »

I am running the latest version of Libreoffice on Ubuntu 22.04.
I have a weird problem that I have never encountered before: If I click on Help in LO the ebook editor from Calibre opens. I have removed and reinstalled both LO and Calibre and the behaviour persists. I have run out of ideas to change this, and am not sure where I could look to find the problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Re: Can't open help files

Have you downloaded the appropriate offline help package for LO, or are you trying to use the online help?

Both use your browser to display the files, the latter using it to open local files on your computer. Is it possible that your file associations are set to use Calibre reader for html files?
Cheers

Thx David,
It was a file association in Calibre, but for some reason I couldn't find it.
