I could possibly add a feature to let you choose which custom columns should always be updated and which should only be populated for new books. The Generate Cover feature has a similar option.

Here's some more URLs...unfortunately I had deleted the majority of them.

Most of the other fics by the above author download fine

All of the above author's won't download (at least in the Magnificent Seven category)

This author has two fics in M7, neither download, both appear to have 'special' html

Thinking about it more, I'm not sure how useful only updating some columns would be to other people. I mostly need it just because I screwed up big time when first downloading all of my fics...I didn't realize I could assign tags and metadata to custom columns and wasted a lot of time entering data by hand. Now that I've got everything set to download correctly, being able to preserve my prior work would be nice but not essential and again probably only useful to me.

The only way I could see it being useful is in a situation like this: sometimes I use the fic's summary as downloaded and sometimes I write in my own. So if I could choose whether to update that column, I'd still be able to update the rest without losing my sometimes-custom-summary-column.

There may be other ways already to do this that I'm just not aware of.
