I created an empty book (Ctrl-Shift-E on my linux). How do I later attach a pdf/epub/etc to that catalog entry?

Thanks.

Just open the entry in the Metadata editor (MDE) and drop it in the formats area
OR
the Details for that entry
That simple. Kovid is a Genius

thanks, i dropped it into the blank box. Hard to tell it's the format box, since it's empty. lol. but with your guidance, i had a feeling that the empty box is the formats box.

appreciate your help, ducks.

I assumed it was labeled
Formats are the only thing that appear there. Those 4 Icons (2 L, 2R) only apply to a Selected format. (all those Icons do have balloon help that say Selected Format)

Sorry

Or "Shift A" when the book line is selected!
