Hi there and thank you again for all the work that is involved with developing & maintaining FFDL.
I've spent a bunch of my day today reading this thread (well, first 500+ and last 600+ posts) as well as other Calibre-related threads here. I wanted to see if I could find answers to a couple of questions which recently came up. So if you don't mind, here are my top two that I couldn't find answers for.
1. Author sort: is it possible for me to tell FFDL to override the Calibre author_sort value with author? I keep fanfic in a separate library, and think of authors by name not last name, so sorting by author can be frustrating when "B of Ericaland" author_sort becomes "Ericaland, B of".
2. I read the discussion abt the new duplicate stories checking/warnings starting back in (April? June?) and would like to know if there is a way I can turn this off (maybe through personal.ini?) I've recently run into this when an author deleted then reposted story (warning abt same title, diff. url) and when trying to download stories that are posted on two sites. I always want to keep the originals, and want to have the "dupes" d/l'ed. I will review them at a later time, but having to click the buttons means I can't let FFDL run in the background while I go do something else.
I've got other things I'm trying to figure out, but think if I read and re-read Jade Aislin's posts some more I may not to have to bother you all with them.
Thanks for your time and for FFDL.
