I'm trying to make a custom column in calibre in my fanfiction library. I want to separate pairings and genre (ao3's freeformtags nothwithstanding) to its own column, and I think I've managed it. Only, the column is now empty. I'd like to get the tags needed from the metadata already downloaded into the tags column instead of burdening the servers with a probably unnecessary metadata download, but I'm not sure how to do so.
Can anyone help me out a little here?
Regarding the above mentioned sharing: I'd be willing to contribute as well, but there is something I've noticed about the replace_metadata to consider: There is only a limited amount of metadata replacing possible. (What's that number anyway?) Case in point: I dislike fanfiction.net's shortening of the surnames and use replace_metadata to get rid of it. But I've had to prepare different personal.ini for each fandom I download from because when I tried to have it for two fandoms in the same personal.ini I got an error message that it was too long. Ao3's freeformtags are also annoying sometimes when people use it for commentary instead of tagging, but because I did not want to prepare yet another personal.ini for that, I had to opt to using calibre's tag mapper for it.
