Unfortunately, my computer doesn't let me drag and drop. Nor did the one before it. I think it has something to do with the fact that it is Windows 7, but I haven't figured out how to fix it. It'd be really nice now because I'm trying to get stories from archive of our own, which keeps timing out when I browse the pages, but I have to copy the url shortcut and than past it to excel.
On another note, I noticed a couple things when I tried downloading from WWOMB. First when I followed the link provided in the supported sites section, I was taken to a url that had /~peja/ and not /peja/ like in the adapter. The first one seems to be a mirror site. It might be helpful to list the alternative as a possible url to get the stories from.
Also, the word count is wrong. Although it shows what is shown on the site, it seems that the site is only counting the first chapter when it gives the word count. I downloaded a story that has fifteen chapters and the word count said it only had 2606 words, which was how big the first chapter was. I used the count plugin to confirm that the word count was bigger and got 35963. I'm not sure if there is any way to fix this. If there isn't I'll just run the count word plugin for these stories to get a more accurate word count.
