I'm currently importing fics into Calibre by "get story URLs from web page". Once it gathers the URLs if the story already exists, I want it to Update Calibre Metadata from Web Site. I've noticed that if I choose this and a book appears within an anthology story I already have, it will give me the skip option, but otherwise I will end up with duplicates entries in my database, same author name, same title, same URL.
If I choose Update EPUB if New Chapters, it will skip stories with the same author name, same title, and same URL, but even though Update Calibre metadata is checked, the metadata for existing books is not updated.
Also, some of the stories in my database are from Fanfiction.net and I would prefer to have AO3's metadata, so if given the option to update the URL to AO3's I always choose yes, but the stories are not being updated with the new URL either.
