Hi! I searched the thread for this but didn't find anything, so I'm just wondering:
(for context all of this may only apply to ao3, it's the only site I use)
It seems that when I update anthologies, they don't call the custom columns in calibre the same way normal fics do. I use some tags that I add manually to manage cover settings, but with anthologies, those tags don't appear to do anything. I don't suppose there is a way to have that happen? I understand it may just not work because of how the anthology function works, or may be cumbersome to add, and I don't want to create tons of extra work for you.
As an example of what I mean: I would manually add the tag "BNHAMulti" to a fic after I upload it to calibre for the first time. That tags column does not update when the fic updates, so it won't get overwritten. Then, when I update the fic, calibre will automatically use the "BNHAMulti" cover thanks to my cover settings. With anthologies, that just doesn't happen, and I have to change the cover manually after updating.
I also have a second question. For anthologies, is there any way to call the "total word count" statistic? When I call the word count, it seems to call the individual word counts for each fic in the anthology, which is just not what I'm looking for. I'm happy to keep updating those manually, but if the function already exists and I just can't find it, I would love to know.
Thanks in advance.
