I think I would die if I did that. I'm relatively allergic to collections and navigate mostly by directory. So having folders: fandom/series/story is easier for me to find with less set up on my part. Unless I'm doing things wrong. I only recently started using KOreader and my Kindle to read fanfiction. I'm still working out the kinks on a lot of things. I use {id} as well, what did you think are the benefits of using {uuid}?

That did seem like the easier way. I would probably still use FFF to populate the column but just manually switch out crossovers. My brain says there should be a way to program it to change the data I want changed, but I don't know enough about the language to make it work. I was playing with a composite column and using switch and switch_if but it either it errors (should have even/odd arguments) or changes everything for some reason. I imagine if/else would work if I could figure it out.
