Many thanks for taking the time to do this detailed testing. It really helps me out a lot.

All of it works as described with multiple fics.

Excellent.

So it is. That's my bad--I don't use that feature so I forgot to test it.

I appreciate that greatly, thank you.

I eventually realized the mistake, but you may want to add to the notes that in order for include_in_genre:genre,themes to work you need to add genre=>#genre under custom_column_settings too, because from the description, at first glance, it looks as though one doesn’t need to do anything in addition. For reference:
## For another example, you could, by uncommenting this line, include
## themes in with genre metadata.
#include_in_genre:genre, themes |
This part appears to be working as designed.
'include_in_genre' adds the theme list to the genre list. The idea is that if you already have #genre column defined and have set FFDL to populate from 'genre' on the Custom Columns tab (not custom_column_settings), that will add themes to it, too.
If you uncomment include_in_genre:genre, themes, both genre and themes appear after the Genre heading on the title page and in custom columns set to populate from 'genre' on the Custom Columns tab.
I'm happy to change the documenting comment to be more clear, do you have any suggestions?

Commented or not, Hermiones, Dracos, Timeline and Themes don’t populate with the above two stories. Genre doesn’t give the composite column, but does populate, strangely, with “FanFiction”, which isn’t included with the themes in the Genre column for the story that worked. (I have Genre set to populate with Extra Tags in the GUI Custom Column tab in the FFDL preferences, but when I put include_in_genre:genre,themes,extra_tags and try http://dramione.org/viewstory.php?sid=533 “FanFiction” still doesn’t show, so I’m not sure where it’s coming from) |
I'm not able to replicate this. It might have been a side effect from the 'a' flag bug above. As for how "FanFiction" could end up in genre, I suspect it was an issue with it being set from Custom Column tab (which happens before custom_columns_settings are applied), and then added to? And it's 'extratags' not 'extra_tags', to use in include_in_genre.

The banner is being treated as an explicit cover image, which is different than make_firstimage_cover. There's a very few sites (fimfic, ffnet and dramione) that have explicit cover images. The only ways to prevent it are never_make_cover: true or include_images: false.
I'm open to suggestions if this doesn't seem like the correct behavior.

Sort of.
FFDL started out as a separate project and still has CLI and web service versions that run off the same code base. When I made the plugin, I started it at 1.0.0 instead of matching the 4.4 version of the existing project. I'll think about how I might get that to show the plugin version instead. Thanks for pointing it out.

Good point. I'd forgotten that the code I use to the create the menu (that caused some Macs crash, I'm sure you remember) is also what registers shortcuts with calibre. I'll try to get the shortcuts for you, but there's a chance it will bump into the Mac crash issue again.

Check out the output_css ini parameter. Quite frankly, the default is text-align: justify just because I like that better.

|
Not at this time. I admit it's a bit of a ham-fisted approach at the moment. However, with the refactoring that happened for the stuff above, I think it might be doable now for source metadata (characters, genre, etc). Changes based on destination column would be a whole different thing, but I think about it.

I appreciate that, I'll keep it in mind.
Many thanks for your help. Hopefully I can get out a version addressing these issues today yet.
