Minor feature request.

I have been using FanFicDownloader for a while now and have come up with a couple of modifications that I would love to see (assuming that it is not too difficult.) I use a custom column in my Library viewer to show ebbok status (this is where I put things like: story incomplete, story complete, epub needs cleaning, replace cover, etc. These are all housekeeping tasks relating to the books in my library.) This allows me to keep the tags field for things that relate to the subject matter of the story.

I would really like to be able to move the In-Progress tag that FFDL inserts out of the Tags field, and into this custom column, keeping all of the housekeeeping stuff in one place and the subject matter stuff in another.

The other thing that I would like to be able to do, would be to put a date updated into this field. This could be the date of the update to the website (if this information is easy to find, or it could be the date that the update was imported into calibre. Either would fulfill the function of letting me search for the stories that have been updated since I last looked. The only issue that I see with the date updated would be how to go about removing the old date after the next update.

And on an unrelated note, is it possible to automate FFLD so that it pulls updates at a certain time? I ask this because I am going out of town and would like to have Calibre update my stories so I can pull them to my iPad on the road.
