Hi all,

I use my file explorer a lot. It eliminates much of the "You have to put the files here" sort of requirement of many applications. And in many case - movie files for example - when you touch the file, it opens it in the appropriate application. There are exceptions like *.epub files. When I touch one, I get the famous "...does not support..." message. So the question is, can I "register" Laputa (for example) to be the app to open *.epub files - Similar to the File Types dialog in Windows?

I suppose this might require root access?

Thanks,
Jim

I use the combination of Estrongs File Explorer and FBReader for ePub.
You can set FBReader as default app for ePub. Works fine for me
First time you have to choose > Text > FBReader > marking Default

Maybe you can do the same with your file explorer and FBReader.

I think I'll try your app. There is nothing like that in the settings for my Vibrant standard file explorer.

Thanks for the tip.

If you have FBReader installed, try your Vibrant standard file explorer.
With Android, the working app (FBReader) does the "registering". And FBReader has the ability.
