Because file(s) I want to add are anywhere on hard drive. Copy file book to calibre library means simply dplication an existing one. For what?

Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library?
For the first solution, you only define the '#file_path' column once. Then, from the book list, you can tap F2 in the File Path cell, click the Link tool, click the Browse button, locate the book via the file system file selector, click OK in the file selector, click OK in the Link tool, click OK in the long text editor.
Sure, that's a lot of 'work', but you don't have to type the file path or copy it to the clipboard before creating the 'empty' book. I prefer this method because I can do it 'in the book list', the Identifiers method requires use of the Single Metadata Edit tool - which I choose to avoid.
