Rather than just the first couple of lines in the defaults section where the browser_cache_path line was located, I was going to put all of it without the instructions and notes, just the settings whether they were commented out or not.
apparently at some point I had tried to work with browser_cache_path in the past (it had to have been on calibre 4.x) and had a second browser_cache_path line... one that was the same, but missing the \cache2 at the end...
so, FFF was a good program that read the configuration file and saw variable browser_cache_path was the correct path but then as it continued reading it saw the same variable and promptly overwrote what it had in place originally.
likely would not have been an issue if the second entry had also had the correct path, but since it didn't...
needless to say, getting rid of the duplicate entry and making sure that the correct path is in place, allowed it to read tthe cache properly. Yay! It didn't seem to think the web site was newer though even though the fic was just updated a week ago or so with a new chapter published and my entry was from more than a moth back. I did get it to update, I just had to select "overwrite always" instead of "overwrite if newer".
so, for funky stuff that is occurring, let this be a lesson. make sure you don't have multiple lines in the personal.ini that duplicate with the last one being wrong |
Always the simple things. Sometimes, you get too close to a problem and the solution just flies over your head while sitting right in front of you...
Glad you got it working!
