baggins41 - That's my mistake. I didn't realize there was an setting for
extracategories:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Plus, I used 'fandom' when it's really
fandoms so
category was coming out entirely empty.
(FYI: It's
category and
genre singular vs
fandoms plural for most other metadata entries for 'historical reasons'.)
Changing the setting to
include_in_category:category,fandoms does what I intended, but there's another wrinkle.
Most, but not all, stories have the 'content' tag 'MLP: FiM' which gets put into
fandoms so now
category would contain both: "MLP: FiM, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". (
An example of a story with multiple
fandoms.
An example of a story without MLP: FiM in
fandoms.)
That lead me to notice that many of tags have longer 'title' attributes. "MLP: FiM" has the full "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"; "Celestia"=>"Princess Celestia", etc (followed by a stories count that would be removed).
So here are the options that come to mind:
- Change only "MLP: FiM" to "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" in fandoms for consistency with older downloads. Keep include_in_category:category,fandoms setting.
- Change all tags (fandoms, characters, etc) to the longer title attribute version, giving consistency for category and longer, more detailed tags, but inconsistencies compared to previously collected characters, etc.
- Same as one of the two above, but also remove extracategories:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic setting so stories without "MLP: FiM" tag (eg "Equestria Girls") don't get "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" in category.
- Remove the new include_in_category setting from defaults; category would go back to containing only "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and individual users can make their own choices regarding fandoms.
I would lean towards options 1 or 4 because they offer the most consistency and the least work for me.
But I don't read FimF, so I'd like to hear options from people who do before making the choice.
