I've added a new wiki page MetadataManagement and put a couple of my metadata settings in it. I think anyone with a GitHub account(free) can add to it.

I can't help with your column being empty without specifics. If you've configured a 'Saved Metadata Column' (see bottom of 'Custom Columns' tab in FFF config), the plugin will have saved the metadata for each book you've downloaded/updated since saving that setting.

You can then use 'Update Calibre Metadata from Saved Metadata Column'. If any of the books you're updating don't have saved metadata, FFF will perform 'Update Calibre Metadata from Web Site' for them and save the metadata in the column.

I've never seen such a limit. Can you post the error message it gives you and an example of a personal.ini that causes it?
