Thumbs down Can calibre handle technical/computer books with chapter examples?
I have a fairly extensive PDF library. I've used calibre for my non-fiction and most regular style technical/computer books.

What I would really love to be able to do, is "attach" the chapter examples, code, or extra data to the book in the library.

Is there any possible way to do so? I don't care if it has to be zipped or formatted a special way. I just need it to be linked to the book, so that if the book is downloaded, then the chapter information is included either in the download or automatically downloaded as a second file.

Thanks for any kind of help!

I tend to keep code samples and so on in data folders which are subfolders of the book's library folder.

You have no idea how many searches I've done!! Just never phrased it close to "external files"!!

This completely solves the only issue to this point that I've ever had with calibre!!

Thanks Sirtel!!
