- Drag-and-drop the related magazine to that record to attach the ebook file
- Do any final metadata editing for the entry just added.

That does it
Drag and drop of the .opf-template works best for me but I need to have the correct date (of entering the template/magazine) so after creating and renaming the template I deleted the line

<meta content="{date and time of template creation}" name="calibre:timestamp"/>

in the .opf and hoped that calibre will fill in the correct date and time if this meta-info is missing - which it fortunately does (well coded Kovid)
One small thing remains but is a bit off-topic to my initial post: If I - after creating the new record - drag the pdf to the detail window on the right is there any chance to have the cover created automatically ?
