I managed everything pretty well except one thing:
I can't get the "Chapters/Total Chapters" for ArchiveOfOurOwn to work. I tried every type of column there is and chose "Chapters" for each one.
There wasn't anything other chapter-related to choose from: No "chapterstotal", "chapterslashtotal" or similar.

The GUI config Custom Columns settings only work with what I call 'standard' or common metadata that virtually all the supported sites have. AO3's "chapterstotal" and "chapterslashtotal" are examples of what I call 'site specific' metadata that are not common to all supported sites.
To set those to a custom column, you instead have to use the personal.ini setting
custom_columns_settings. Here's what defaults.ini has to say about it:
Spoiler:
Code:
## (Plugin Only) - You can also populate calibre custom columns with
## the site specific metadata using custom_columns_settings (but only
## if 'Allow custom_columns_settings from personal.ini' is checked in
## the plugin GUI config.) There are three parts, the entry name,
## then the label of the calibre custom column, then (optionally) a
## 'mode'. 'r' to Replace any existing values, 'a' to Add to existing
## value (use with tag-like columns), and 'n' for setting on New books
## only. (Default is 'r'.)
## Literal strings can be set into custom columns using double quotes.
## Each metadata=>column mapping must be on a separate line and each
## needs to have one space at the start of each line.
## 'r_anthaver' and 'n_anthaver' can be used to indicate the same as
## 'r' and 'n' for normal downloads, but to average the metadata for
## the differents story in an anthology before setting in integer and
## float type custom columns. This can be useful for a averrating
## column, for example. Default is to sum the values of all stories,
## and numChapters and numWords are always summed.
custom_columns_settings:
cliches=>#acolumn
themes=>#bcolumn,a
timeline=>#ccolumn,n
"FanFiction"=>#collection
averrating=>#averrating,r_anthaver
You should be able to find some examples in previous discussion in this thread. Also, chapterslashtotal can't be set in a number type custom column, it needs a string.
