Can you get me a debug log? Copies of your personal.ini and the included _filelist file(s) would also help a lot. PM if you want to keep them private (but you do have to upload them somewhere and PM the links then).

You can't reproduce it? This is strange, because I tried it out with an extremely truncuated ini file and filelist. Here, let me copy-paste it:
Spoiler:
Code:
[defaults]
default_value_status:Unknown
default_value_category:Fanfiction
default_value_rating:Not Rated
extratags: Fanfiction
titlepage_entries: storyId,seriesHTML,category,genre,language,characters,ships,status,datePublished,dateUpdated,dateCreated,rating,warnings,numChapters,numWords,site,description
website_encodings: auto, utf8, Windows-1252
replace_metadata_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/replace_metadata.txt
exclude_metadata_pre_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/exclude_pre.txt
exclude_metadata_post_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/exclude_post.txt
It doesn't matter what's in the exclude_pre.txt file (in this one test case a single line: genre==Humor), because fanficfare doesn't even get to try it out. As soon as I write this in fanficfare's "edit personal ini" and click on ok, I get the aforementioned error message urging me to "return to editing" or "save anyway". So that's why I didn't include a debug log in the first place - because it doesn't get as far as trying to download anything.
But now for the sake of having tried, I clicked "save anyway" and made a download in debug. And *that* went to show where the problem is. Basically it downloaded without problems and apparently exclude_metadata_pre and _post work just fine. It's just that fanficfare wrongly gives an error message upon exiting personal.ini.
I've attached the debug log, but you don't need it anymore, I'd think, now the problem's been identified.
