No idea where my previous question went but I'm having an issue where using the replace metadata feature to alter character names also alters the character names within the downloaded fics title page.
The reason for me it's a problem is I use replace metadata to (among other things) force character names into a format that uses Calibre's tag hierarchy within my custom columns.
Under the custom columns settings I have fanficfare fill my custom column called characters with well, characters. Then under personal.ini I have replace metadata rename characters into a format so that Calibre creates subcategories within my custom characters column. That part works great.
Code:
characters=>Harry P\.=>Harry Potter.Harry Potter
characters=>N\. Tonks=>Harry Potter.Nymphadora Tonks
The issue is that within the fics title page it turns:
Code:
Characters: Harry P., N. Tonks
into->
Characters: Harry Potter.Harry Potter, Harry Potter.Nymphadora Tonks
The same issue happens with other columns status (which gets used to fill a "Fic Complete: Yes/No" column)
Code:
status=>Completed=>Yes
status=>In-Progress=>No
Which on the title page, makes this happen:
Code:
Status: In-Progress
Becomes->
Status: No
That ones not that bad, especially because I could just update how my custom column works from "Yes/No" to "Complete/Incomplete" or "Complete/In-Progress" but its still annoying and it turns things like pairings nearly unreadable from on the title page. It works great within the custom columns but within the fic on the title page it severely harms readability.
Is there any setting or INI change I could make to alter this behavior? Really I'm just looking for some way to have replace metadata not impact the title page (or what would be even better is only have specific parts of replace metadata alter the title page if thats a thing).
