Interesting! This looks like an entirely different bug than the & one.
I popped over to my empty testbed library and downloaded the story, and it worked fine. I then tried updating it (with "update epub always" and "update calibre metadata" for maximum updatage) and that worked fine too. But then I switched to a different library, switched back, and tried updating it the exact same way and that time it failed. Upon further examination, the author field is behaving strangely in ways that might indicate a bug in Calibre itself. Here's how it looked right after the initial download: shot 1 Note how the author is listed as "Rainbow|Dash" in the main library table, but "Rainbow,Dash" in the metadata edit window. Then after switching libraries and back again, it looked like this: shot 2 The main library table had updated to match the metadata edit window, and the error came up when updating. Here's the error message: Quote:
Attempting to change the author name manually to "Rainbow|Dash" triggers the same constraint error about non-unique column names. Last edited by FaceDeer; 09-03-2013 at 12:07 AM. Reason: change image tags to link tags |

A question about anthologies: I'm wondering if it's possible somehow to add the summaries for the individual fics in the anthology to the usual "Anthology contains[list of fics]" generated in the comments?

Okay, I've got it. Only some of the warning tags are showing up. All AO3 fics have at least one warning tag of the six possible ones. Only four are actually showing up, and they're the least common ones of my downloads, so I had a lot of examples of AO3 warning tags not showing, and few with. On top of that, warnings don't create tags by default (which I didn't check - my mistake), but I manually put them in when it's a fic I downloaded from the website as opposed to FFDL, so when trying to find out if there were past fics that worked, I only found the ones that either I'd tagged manually, or the author had freeform tagged, which got lost in the ones I'd done. So, one example of each: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, http://archiveofourown.org/works/914859 No Archive Warnings Apply, http://archiveofourown.org/works/373690 Graphic Depictions Of Violence, http://archiveofourown.org/works/750412 Major Character Death, http://archiveofourown.org/works/779835 Rape/Non-Con, http://archiveofourown.org/works/779878 Underage, http://archiveofourown.org/works/952672 "No Archive Warnings Apply", and "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" aren't printing, the rest are. If the other tags aren't printing because AO3 doesn't provide them, then that's that. If not, I'd point out that one use of "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" is to indicate that any of the other warnings may apply, but the author doesn't want you to know in advance for suspense, and that if the reader doesn't want to risk it, not to read it. "No Archive Warnings Apply" is usually the author's stated judgement that none of the positive warnings apply, though it can actually be selected in conjunction with other warnings when they apply to different aspects or parts of the fic (occasionally an author will designate which applies to a given chapter in notes) - there are some use cases in the comments to a couple tagging posts. They are neither equivalent, nor null information, and I would like to collect it if I can, please. Um. Is linking to fic on this board with a few of those tags problematic? I can of course delete them. |

FF updates - best way to update on e-reader?
What would you consider the best way to update a fanfic on my e-reader (a Nook by the way) when it has new chapters? I'm not sure of how to do it, because I've been saving them manually onto the microsd card I use, but it doesn't always work and sometimes I miss one
Any ideas please? |

Re: FF updates - best way to update on e-reader
Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/fanficdownl...ithReadingList
There are obvious optional things there that you don't need, but you can choose the bits that do what you want. You can also automate less if you have steps that you want to do in between. |

Re: FF updates - best way to update on e-reader
You're welcome. If you just want to sync updated fic, you actually don't need to touch the plugboard part. That just prepends 000 to the title so that new stuff shows up at the top on your Nook. That said, it is handy. And doing it gives you a taste of the power of Calibre customisation. If you find it gives you ideas about other things you might want to try, there's lots of flexibility, and chances are that someone's already found a way to do it (finding it on the forum might take awhile...). People have got a lot of refinements that they use to set things up just how they like them. Pretty soon you could find yourself fiddling about with any number of things. Or not. It's totally up to you. Have fun!

I've tried the method, but the stories don't come up as not being on my Nook. Any ideas or shall I just do it manually? Thanks again! |

Otherwise my answer will be a filter in FFDL to remove that character from authors and probably titles, too. |

Bizarrely enough when I run Calibre in debug mode and try to update I don't get any errors and yet I do when running Calibre as normal? |
