Yes, you are right the command
add takes care of also adding the file to the library directory. It also take care of the cover. It seams that the only option missing is
-publisher but I can live without.

Good luck, I won't be back in this thread.

Thanks. Coming back to the original question of the thread, anyhow I couldn't manage to get the command for local recipes working. I prepared my recipe, tested on Calibre GUI, uploaded to the server /home folder. But still when I give the command
Code:
ebook-convert /home/calibre-library/Foreign_Affairs_Custom.recipe /home/foreignaffairs.mobi --output-profile kindle
I get this outoput
Code:
1% Converting input to HTML...
InputFormatPlugin: Recipe Input running
Failed to compile downloaded recipe. Falling back to builtin one
Traceback (most recent call last):

Why doesn't catch my recipe?
