steve, the resources/help/en/options file states that the --tdbfile makes mkgmap write a .tdb file. but i always got a .tdb file, even though i never used this option. is this option only necessary when one merges .img files, and superfluous when processing .osm files?

and which files to load (or import?), single tile .img (from mkgmap), gmapsupp.img or the .tdb from mkgmap, or the gmapsupp.img from gmt (as the linux gmaptool is named).
In QLandkarteGT you can import whole mapsets including tdb and overview img- tile. If you have only some img tiles, you must first create a tdb and a overview map for proper loading this maps.
(java -jar mkgmap.jar --tdbfile *.img)
carsten, thank you for your hints regarding qlandkarte! once i got over this initial hurdle, qlandkartegt started making fun. i might even use it to geotiff some scans of paper maps (as long the islands i'm gonna visit the next weeks are flooded on the garmin :-) best, rj
