Kovid, thank you for your response. And, also, thank for this fantastice software suite.

I followed your example - and yes, the metadata for the text file is imported with the text book file. However, I can reproduce the problem --- when I place one of my PDF books (book + cover + metadata) (pdf has internal old/outdated metadata) in the same "saved" directory tree and then add "multiple". The text book metadata is correct, the pdf book has only the old/invalid metadata. When, I do the same thing using add "single" both the text and pdf books have the correct/updated metadata. So, it appears that for "multiple" mode - if the book has metadata the OPF is ignored, if the book does NOT have metadata the OPF is used.

Further - it appears that the updated PDF "save" process in 1.25 does work better than previous versions. The books I had been testing with had all been saved with v1.23 or older. I just -resaved one of the PDF books and the basic internal metadata (title/author/series) has ben updated this time.

However, the add "multiple" issue does exist. When I add the newly updated PDF using "multiple" the cover is the internal (outdated) cover. When I add the newly updated PDF using "single" the cover is the "saved" cover.

thank you
