I just had to drop in (and finally register for this site rather than reading threads all the time as a guest) to express my thanks for this fantastic plug-in. I love it! Have downloaded a ton of stuff using it, primarily from Archive of Our Own and Fanfiction.net. Love being able to have so much of the metadata filled in automatically. I also like being able to select all the fanfic listed as In-Progress and have the plug-in check for updates. There are many things I love about it.
Of course now I have about a zillion tags listed in my fanfic Calibre Library. Anyone out there have any advice on the best way to winnow that down? Obviously I can edit the list using "edit category" in Calibre, but many of them pop up again so automatically winnowing/converting would be great if there were a way to do so. I do find some of the tags useful or I'd just use my own, but people use a ton of them on other sites.
I've also been trying to standardize names of Categories. So I don't have Harry Potter, Harry Potter - Rowling, Harry Potter - Fandom but instead just one Harry Potter category to rule them all. I've used the "replace_metadata" section in personal.ini to fix that particular category, but have noticed some of the things I've tried in that section don't work so I'm imagining there might be some sort of limit on how many things you can put there? (Is there?)
A note about what URLs work and what don't: I noticed a couple of weeks ago that when I was inputting a list of URLs to be downloaded, some stuff didn't download. Tried to figure out what was going on. Then I realized that the Archive of Our Own URLs were showing up as https:// instead of the usual http:// and those were the ones that didn't seem to work. Is this a known issue? (At the time it happened I tried searching this thread and didn't see anything on the topic, but it's possible I missed something or it's been discussed since then.)
Is there a way to automatically fill in metadata for pairing? Pairings seem to often be listed in "characters" or "tags" but I created a custom column for that (and considered actually making sub-cats or genres for pairings). I know in some cases the archive itself is an indicator of pairing as those archives are specifically for one (likewise the archive could be an indicator of category/fandom). I imagine there's probably a way to automatically fill-in data in the pairing column using data from other columns, but I haven't come up with it yet.
Ack. Sorry. Rambling and giving suggestions, questions, ideas, and so on. Have been playing with this plug-in and my fanfic library in Calibre quite a bit for some time now so once I start talking about it, it all comes flooding out. I very much appreciate the plug-in, the suggestions and ideas and help people have posted to go with it.
