Hi! I've stumbled on a few confusing problems:
1) "Overwrite If Newer" does not seem to be working anymore when the format in question is "html". At least not on ffnet and ao3 both. The error message is,
Code:
Not Overwriting, web site is not newer.
And yet the story in question
has updated. Not just that, but the solution seems to be to either simply use, "Overwrite Always" or just "Add New Book".
I don't know how long this has been going on (I only noticed it today), or if other archives are affected as well. And though I did look through the past several pages of the thread, I haven't seen anyone else report anything similar either. Is it really just me?
If necessary, I could attach an example fic each for ffnet and ao3 or the debug log.
2) tth seems to be on the fritz yet again. It is impossible to download from there anymore. I get the prompt to log in with username and password, and even after entering them, the prompt window keeps popping up again and again until I give up and press cancel. Is this a known thing? A mess-up on tthfanfic.org's part that we can only wait out? (Why oh why is it
always tth? *sigh*)
And to clarify: I'm using the latest plugin version, but not the test version.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention something else as well, so better add it here instead of making another post, right?
exclude_metadata_post is supposed to be executed after replace_metadata, right? Well. It doesn't seem to work that way for me.

The Jenny Code (Ch 1-1)
Authors: Domenika Marzione (domarzione)
(rather long fic, so it's better download only one or two chapters.)
I tried to move "Genii" from genre to characters. Doing this works, in that "Genii" is copied to "characters":
Code:
characters=>(.*)=>\1\,Genii&&genre=>Genii
But when I then try to get rid of the genre "Genii" after the replacement via exclude_metadata_post, the downloaded work will not have "Genii" anywhere, be it genre or characters.
And no, I checked, I did not put "Genii" accidentally inside exclude_metadata_pre or some such thing.
Again, no idea if it is something new or if it's been this way for a while. It's not that it's supposed to be this way and I simply misunderstood what exclude_metadata_post is supposed to do, right?
