You could add the 'format' files to the empty book records with the calibredb add_format command, but you need to specify the book number.

Or you could use the 'one book per directory' Add method with an opf file in each - Third attempt in your original post.

I still have a couple of problems:
  • I went for real and Import List was rather quick parsing the .csv file and to do the preview, but after I gave the final "Finish" started trashing on disk and it's still mumbling with no feedback aside for disk access (It's a couple of hours, now)
  • I don't really understand your comment about using my "third attempt" with the .opf file: I tried that, but Calibre seems to ignore completely the .opf and tries to gleam Title/author from unknown (to me) sources with "funny results". What should I do to prepare a directory that will be associated to a given book (note: I have some books "duplicate" because they are different editions.
TiA!
