See the previous post about include_subject_tags. You want to remove status. Then look at the Custom Columns tab of FFDL config to use FFDL to set In-Progress or Complete status.

If you dislike the 'In-Progress' label, you can change it by putting this in your personal.ini:
Code:
replace_metadata:
 ^In-Progress$=>Incomplete
Change Incomplete to whatever you want the status to be.

Create a custom date column, look at the Custom Columns tab of FFDL config, set it using the Updated value.

If you want update in tags rather than a custom column, you can add 'lastupdate' to include_subject_tags. lastupdate creates two tags: "Last Update Year/Month: %Y/%m" and "Last Update: %Y/%m/%d". FFDL will remove outdate "Last Update" tags automatically.

No, not in calibre. First, calibre has no cron or timer capability. Second, I remain of the opinion that users should be using the email notices from their different sites to track stories, not just hitting 'update' on FFDL to poll for updates.

It is possible to do that using the command line version, but you'd have to figure out your own cron job scripting for it.
