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?

Well, I created the Pairings column to be "comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser", with the lookup name pairings. Same with the Genre column, only with the lookup name genre. That's really the only info I can give about it. I didn't do anything special. But I guess that's moot because from what you've said I made a big mistake previously.


I had not configured a "saved metadata column". For some reason I never even saw that line in the fanficfare customization settings. Fixed it now.

Oh well. I'll have to do it manually then. After all, there are only a handful of stories with pairings in my as yet small library, and I want only the handful of main genres in my genre column anyway, so it shouldn't take too long.

As for the limit thing, I'm attaching the personal.ini like you said. And a screenshot of the error message, since it's too long and I can't find a log of it (if it exists).
