It looks to me like CP will apply its settings. Personally, I'd just try it and see.
I'd forgotten about it, but there is an important difference between 'Calculate Word Count' option on FFF's General tab and the settings on the FFF Count Pages tab.
'Calculate Word Count' uses Calibre's internal word count mechanism during the download phase and sets numWords as if that number had come from the site. Affects titlepage and if you are setting a word count column from FFF, either on Custom Columns tab or from custom_columns_settings.
The FFF Count Pages tab settings only control whether CP is called and with what count algorithms. After that it's all on CP. |
That makes sense.
I did a few tests of my own. I disabled the 'always overwrite' option in Count Pages.
I ran 'update always' on a book with an existing pagecount. I got a message about it being not able to update it because "Book already has all statistics and overwrite is turned off."
For additional testing: can custom_column_settings be used to set a column to undefined?
I tried to set
''=>#pagecount to see if nulling out the column would allow Count Pages to re-populate it, but it didn't work.
