Sigil doesn't handle the nested dir structure inside the epub correctly. This is a known problem with Sigil that they had elected to not fix the last I checked. The structure we use is valid by the epub standard. So if you saved it with Sigil, there's no point looking in your posted file--Sigil will have corrupted it. (Even if I did have a 7z tool handy. FYI, you don't need to compress an epub file--it's already zipped.) Second, I'm able to download that series as an anthology and it looks fine in Calibre's reader and on my Nook. Only semi-related, the animated images in those stories are somewhat messed up by the usual image conversion and resizing. Adding the code below to your personal.ini will prevent that at the cost of larger image files in the epub: Code:
[archiveofourown.org:epub] # an AO3 series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/150066) has animated images no_image_processing: true |

BetterRed mentioned something to me about Raw_metadata, how would that work for keeping the metadata in the downloaded order, instead of changing it to alphabetically, if I change anything?

When I edit my Characters-metadata, it always reverts back to being alphabetically sorted instead of keep_in_order_characters:true. BetterRed mentioned this:

The keep_in_order_characters:true is a parameter in FFDL's personal.ini and effects how FFDL treats the metadata. The best way to see if FFDL is re-ordering your characters is to look at the characters line on the title page inside the epub. If they are alphabetized there when you don't want them to be, I might be able to help with that. Whether Calibre alphabetizes the characters after set by FFDL is a separate matter. I suspect that BetterRed was suggesting using that code snippet to effect how Calibre is displaying your characters, possibly as a second display-only custom column. I don't know that part of Calibre well enough to comment off hand. But it's after FFDL has finished with the data. (Note that as you've quoted it you have 'smart' quotes: (‘,’ vs ',') I don't think those work in actual code.) |

Thanks, I'll try to input this in my custom column and see if it makes a difference. I just didn't understand the raw_metadata-thing
I now get the following (see the Main Character and Secondary Character): Last edited by Tanjamuse; 04-15-2015 at 03:40 PM. |

I was already working on adding a specific FAQ about Sigil, I just haven't put it up yet. Thanks for the update on Sigil. Quote:

Also, I have a specific story on AO3 that has all sorts of weird problems with its TOC when I use the anthology creator and Marvin. I'm not sure how much that problem actually happens because I don't actually use anthologies all that heavily. I personally ended up just ragequitting Marvin entirely, especially since iOS 8.3 no longer plays nice with the iOS Reader Application plugin. I wasn't especially thrilled with its UI anyway. If you are interested, I can try to reproduce the issues I was having before with links and etc and provide them to you. Last edited by thatblondelady; 04-15-2015 at 04:52 PM. |

OTOH, if those problems occur more regularly, I'd very much like to know where they happen, thanks. |

It's not a problem to get them at all. I only have 5 anthologies, because I don't heavily use them, and I know exactly which ones they are. I'll do a writeup on em for you later. You are basically doing me a favour because now I have another reason to avoid the load of laundry I really don't want to do.
Edit: the bit about how sigil breaks the epubs is exactly the behaviour I got while trying to fix the book. I had chapters out of order, and content missing, which is consistent with what you said about flattening of the folders. Last edited by thatblondelady; 04-15-2015 at 05:09 PM. |

It's early but It looks like storiesonline.net has changed something again.

Unless JimmXinu gets bored in the meantime, I'll have a look at this tonight. There's probably been a change but it is usually something simple and obvious.

Test version of FanFicFare with fix posted in the new FanFicFare thread. It's fine to continue reporting problems here for the time being--FanFicFare hasn't been added to the official plugin list yet. |

I went ahead and installed FFF (updated by JimmyXinu) and that fixed the problem immediately.
should I uninstall FFDL now that FFF is installed? |
