I just looked at the details and update always deletes any chapters that the author has deleted, which I really don't want to happen, and it doesn't mention updating the metadata. Thanks anyway!

Update ePub does update the metadata. As for deleted chapters, that's a fair point; if I remember right, FFF will give you an option to view a log before updating the library and it'll be listed in there.

I did a quick test and confirmed that it does update the metadata. I also noticed that the job spun a lot longer while downloading, so I presume it had to pull every chapter instead of just the main page. Between that and the deletion of chapters sent to KU, for example, it's not the right option for me.

As for being able to back out after viewing the log, I always check and do occasionally have to cancel. I just hate to do that because then I have to run all of the other stories in the group again, downloading any new chapters a second time.

Thanks again for your help!

From the few stories I read from sections of AFF, this adapter needs a little more work. These (inelegant) edits to my local copy fixed all errors for me:

220: chapters = soup.find('ul',{'class':'dropdown-content'})
376: chaptertag = soup.find('ul',{'class':'pagination'}).parent.parent.parent.findNext('li')

I actually spoke too quickly on one of those code lines. A working fix for the second line is like this:

376: chaptertag = soup.find('ul',{'class':'pagination'}).parent.parent.parent.findNextSibling('li')

Hi, thanks for making such a great tool! Just discovered FFF today and am enamored with it. I was just wondering if there was any function to be able to pull the date of when a bookmark was made from archiveofourown.org? Given I don't have any custom tags / notes on most of my bookmarks, I'm trying to use any identifier available to be able to match a bookmarked work on ao3 to a work that's saved down in calibre in case it's deleted from the site. Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else, can't seem to find anything on it. Thanks!

poodz - The bookmark date stamp is not available in the story page, so it isn't saved by FFF. I don't think it's worth another page fetch--or more, since the bookmarks are paginated.

Also, I assume (perhaps falsely) that when a story is deleted from AO3 that associated bookmarks also disappear, leaving nothing to compare to.

I don't have a collection of stories from there, so beyond some very basic testing, I'm just trusting cryosaur.

Ah, I see - gotcha. I was trying to pull from an entire page of bookmarks, where the bookmarked date is visible. I believe when the work is deleted on ao3, your tags, notes, and bookmark date still remain (ref: https://imgur.com/a/FhBGtwd). If that's the case, I'll probably just go thru and manually add dates, thank you!

Question: I'm trying to download a quite lengthy story from ffnet. Is there a way to download chapters 1-3, and then add chapters 4-6, and so forth?

[JimmXinu]

Use the chapter range feature with story URL. First:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/XXX/1/[1-3]

Then later do Download by URL with mode: Update Epub using:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/XXX/1/[4-6]

And so on. You have to do it by URL.

Seems to work.

The 'Proceed' dialog box is not under plugin control, plus I've seen it appear various shapes and sizes.

If you can tell me a way to reliably duplicate the issue, I'll look at it. But I suspect it's Calibre, not plugin.

Curious: What is the intended use of the "add books back to 'send to device' list when marked 'read'" option? Is it to remove the '(NEW)' bits on the reader itself?
