Thanks again for the explanation about the file-chooser! you can't believe how much more comfortable it is to be able to set ditamap as filetype
Talking of comfort, though ... the footer in .pdf output can contain a {{chapter title}} variable, which is populated by reference to topic content. That's comfortable. A .bookmap can contain <metadata><prodinfo><vrm> ... but I haven't found a way of accessing this information in the footer. So as things stand, I have to set the footer by hand every time I want to output a book. This is error-prone - and, as such, not comfortable. I would be so pleased either to learn how to access this information as easily as I access the {{chapter title}} or (suboptimal, but let's stay result-driven) to find some other .map attribute I can populate and (mis)use to set/re-use vrm information at book level.
