Version 3.6.115 - 23 January 2021

New menu item: Download Web Series, Indexes, LCCN, ISBN, PermaLinks, Tags, Publisher, PubDate [Selected Single Real Author], which partially replaces the deprecated use of Fictiondb.com for downloading WSSVD, but then adds much more metadata retrieval functionality that did not previously exist. A future release will replace any remaining functionality loss caused by the deprecation noted above.

See the attached image and job logs for further details and examples.

The primary purpose of this is to add new WSSVD to Q&S. Extra metadata is a "gift", and totally secondary to the primary purpose.

The new ability to create "empty books" with full metadata for a single author's books NOT currently in Q&S is a bonus as well.

Remember that the Q&S Library, which must begin with the phrase "QuarantineAndScrub_", is not a "real", "pristine" Calibre Library. After scrubbing all of a book's metadata, that book must be moved to a "real" Library, leaving behind all of the "work metadata" that is specific to Q&S.

This new job is very gentle in its use of the new Web Source for WSSVD. It waits a full 5 seconds before each and every server request, no matter how minor or trivial, in order to not abuse the privilege of accessing the metadata. So, it is not a fast job at all. Be patient.

Whereas Fictiondb.com was curated specifically for Fiction, the new Web Source is 100% generic.

Also, several menu selections have had their item names improved to clarify their use and dependencies, if any.

Remember to always run the "After Version Upgrade" job on the menu after upgrading to any new release or version of Q&S.
