I can't seem to get this to work, epub files are being sent to the external reader instead. I have the 'Open EPUBs using' setting set to 'Zotero'.

Can you provide a Debug ID for reproducing this?

I think so: D1444733413
I just found and clicked on an epub in my library; Zotero sent it to the external app instead of opening it.

Ah, so that's an EPUB you added years ago, before Zotero recognized EPUB files, so as far as Zotero is concerned it's just a generic data file.
We'll add something for the next beta to recognize old files like this.

Ah great. Yes, dropping it back into Zotero as a new entry means it opened fine; I didn't think to check that before. I'll just use that as a workaround in the meantime, thanks!
