No sense spending time to analyze it. I have two computers side by side and may use either one to download. Probably had one FFF not the latest.

Actually, I forgot that was in the test version, not the released version. See my sig for the link.

That might make sense as this time I did the automatic update within Calibre on that computer as it was more convenient. I assume it updates to the last released version, not any test versions?

Correct.

I only update the release once a month, unless there's a major bug. The test version gets updated much more often.

On the MetadataManagement page, the user that provided the "normalizing content ratings" used add_to_replace_metadata rather than replace_metadata.

As I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the differences between replace and add_to_replace_metadata (other than the latter is better for specifically overriding metadata for specific stories), any idea why they would do this?

replace_metadata in a more specific section will override replace_metadata from a more general section. add_to_replace_metadata is additive instead of replacement. If you have a replace_metadata setting in [defaults], [<site>], [epub] and [<storyUrl>], only the one in the most specific section ([<storyUrl>] in this example) will be used. add_to_replace_metadata can be in each section and their values will all be used.

There's a wiki page section on add_to_X.

You can creatively use replace_metadata and add_to_replace_metadata in different sections to change what's applied when, but it's really not that useful to 99.9% of users, I expect.

That example probably uses add_to_replace_metadata because then it will still work if the user already has replace_metadata settings.

[ownedbycats]

That makes sense.

Pretty much all of my add_to_replace_metadata are in the story section to override specific bits (e.g. most examples are removing stuff like "updates every monday" from descriptions, but once datePublished after an author moved their story to AO3 without backdating it).

Coming from this:

Context: Going through my dormant fanfics to see if any of them have been deleted. Doing bulk-updates with FanFicFare is frowned upon. I thought I could select about 5-10 fics at a time and have Action Chains open the identifier link in the browser.

If there isn't any function like this already (albeit for story uris rather then identifiers, either internal or in the id field), would it make sense to implement a menu option? On the other hand, it may lead to disaster should a user accidentally run it on their entire fanfic library while having a "open multiple links?" prompt disabled.

[JimmXinu]

There's the 'Get Story URLs from Selected Books' option, which does what it says. Including searching inside epubs if needed.

I would be surprised if there isn't a tool somewhere for opening every link in a pasted block of text. Or 10 minutes of programming (aka reading stackoverflow) to make your own.

[ownedbycats]

This Chrome addon does it job.

I was wondering if there is a way to get fff to remove all the fandoms except for the few I want. I try to keep the fandoms to under 100 to make sure they all show in one group. I am currently doing this in two steps: First, in add_to_replace_metadata I have a set of statements to automatically categorize the fandoms that I care about.
Example:

  category=>.*Arkham.*=>Batman
  category=>.*[Bb]at[Mm]an.*=>Batman
  category=>.*Blue Beetle.*=>DCU
  category=>.*[Bb][Nn][Hh][Aa].*=>My Hero Academia
  category=>.*[Bb]oku [Nn]o [Hh]ero [Aa]cademia.*=>My Hero Academia
  category=>.*Criminal Minds.*=>Criminal Minds
  category=>.*Doctor Who.*=>Doctor Who
  category=>.*[Gg]otham.*=>Batman
  category=>.*Grayson.*=>Batman
  category=>.*Krypto.*=>Superman
  category=>.*Jessica Jones.*=>Jessica Jones
  category=>.*Joker.*=>Batman
  category=>.*Justice League.*=>Justice League
  category=>.*Justice Society of America.*=>DCU
  category=>.*Leverage.*=>Leverage
  category=>.*Lie to Me.*=>Lie to Me
  category=>.*[Mm]ari[Bb]at.*=>Batman\,Miraculous Ladybug
  category=>.*MCU.*=>Marvel
  category=>.*[Mm][Hh][Aa].*=>My Hero Academia
  category=>.*No Fandom.*=>Original Work
  category=>.*Ouran.*=>Ouran High School Host Club
  category=>.*Poetry.*=>Original Work
  category=>.*Red Hood.*=>Batman
  category=>.*Red Robin.*=>Batman
  category=>.*[Rr]obin.*=>Batman

Next, I created a long list of lines to remove all other fandoms.
Example:

  category=>.*RPF.*=>
  category=>.*Video Game.*=>
  category=>.*[Aa]nime.*=>
  category=>.*[Mm]anga.*=>
  category=>.*[Cc]artoon.*=>
  category=>.*[Bb]ook.*=>
  category=>.*[Tt][Vv].*=>
  category=>.*[Bb]and.*=>
  category=>.*[Mm]ovie.*=>
  category=>.*[!'/\|\(\)\+:;?-].*=>
  category=>.*[1234567890].*=>
  category=>.*All Media.*=>
  category=>.*Fandom.*=>
  category=>.*&.*=>
  category=>^[Tt]he.*=>
  category=>^[EKNQUXx].*=>

I was hoping you could give me a more efficient way to do this.

Specifically, try include_metadata_post with your transformed category names, like:

include_metadata_post:
 fandom == Batman
 fandom == DCU
 fandom == My Hero Academia
