Alright I'll just mark the problematic ones with a temporary tag then and do it over several days. Thank you for all your help.

[FiendfyreSnake]

One last question, how where you editing your replies so long after posting them? I could only edit mine within 5 minutes of posting it?

[ownedbycats]

glad I could help.

Also, as expected, it did result in some weird behaviour on crossovers: it added both prefixes to all the characters. Any idea how to handle this?

This is my best idea so far:

characterlist=>(Character1|Character2)=>Fandom1.\1&&category==Crossover
characterlist=>(Character3|Character4)=>Fandom2.\1&&category==Crossover

EDIT: I made it worse!

"New" users (those with fewer than some, unknown number of posts) are restricted on edits and prevented from using PMs.

So just keep doing what you can and eventually it will automatically change.

I thought that perhaps an exclude metadata would work, but halfway through adding it I realized it would just strip the characters entirely. Still a little stumped.

I guess I could just set the column as new only and manually sort it out.

EDIT: For now, I just disabled all the prefixes and am focusing on sorting out all the standardization.

replace_metadata: 
## Fix and standardize your character names first
 characterlist=>Harry P\.=>Harry Potter
 characterlist=>N\. Tonks=>Nymphadora Tonks

It should work fine. However, any standardization done in characterlist won't appear on your title pages, so it depends on wheter you want it to appear there or not.

I consider it good practice to do all the standardization in the original entry, and then pass it onto the Calibre-specific extra entry.

- Add browser_cache_age_limit option
- Add browser cache options to defaults.ini
- Give adapter_archiveofourownorg a get_section_url() for quicker rejects checks from email.


So the very first thing this morning, I did 'update from email' and a story with an update overnight didn't find the new chapter because my browser cache still had that story from yesterday.

Thus, browser_cache_age_limit is added.

## It's common for browser cached files to be kept for several hours
## or more.  You can limit the age of cached files FFF will use from
## browser_cache_path with browser_cache_age_limit.  Only cached files
## that were downloaded within 'browser_cache_age_limit' hours will be
## used.  If set to -1, all cached files will be used.
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0

Default value of 4.0 hours is pretty arbitrary.

Here are links to the new (plugin)defaults.ini settings:

• browser_cache_path
• browser_cache_age_limit
• use_browser_cache
• use_browser_cache_only

Please let me know if you find the comments unclear (ideally with suggestions for how to read word them more clearly).

Good point, I noticed that once I tried it. I'm currently setting up some (attempt) at standardization and order for the mess that is AO3's tagging system.

Something I have noticed is that some categories use different names on AO3 vs Fanfiction.net fics. for example pairings are called pairings on download ff.net fics but relationships on downloaded fics from AO3. Any ideas for that?

Unless you've been changing the site-specific settings from defaults.ini FFF should remap them both to ships.

[ownedbycats]

Also, if you want to change for one site but not another:

characters=>Character=>Character Lastname&&site==www.fanfiction.net

ought to work.

[FiendfyreSnake]

I will definitely look at that that. Looking through the default ini I also found where it is setting pairings from fanfiction.net to be called pairings so I will play around with that.

I'm not sure - one thing to check though is that you escaped your characters:

It looks like by default the ini actually does remap everything not from fanfiction.net to relationships (not ships) and for fanfiction.net it specifically sets them to be called pairings.

In the plugin defualts ini there is this setting:

ships_label:Relationships

and under

[www.fanfiction.net]
## ffnet uses 'Pairings', not 'Relationship', stating they don't have
## to be romantic pairings.
ships_label:Pairings

Alright so I have another couple of questions:

1. Why does this string clear the calibre tags column with an otherwise blank pesonal ini?

*edit* this fic works for both questions: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17926664

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,blanklist
#uses the blank "blanklist" extra valid entry to somehow remove everything else from the calibre tags catagory"
#this is what I want but I have no idea why it works
include_subject_tags:blanklist

Background:

Spoiler:

I was trying to find out what this did

However, it may be possible to use add_to_extra_valid_entries & include_in_entryname to accomplish what you want. I use it to remap categories to a few broad tags:

# 'add_to_' concats on to existing param, thus the leading comma
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,tagscategory,

# tagscategory is a copy category for Fanfiction.category in tags
include_in_tagscategory:category
include_subject_tags: tagscategory

Specifically this line:

include_subject_tags: tagscategory

I noticed it used the extra_valid_entry you had in your demo there so i pointed it at a random on of mine and saw that it completely cleared the tags column in calibre except for whatever was included in the "extra_valid_entry" so I made yet another one and purposely didn't include anything in it and it quite nicely cleared the column completely. I am super happy with that result and can definitely do some interesting things with it but I just want to know why it happens.

TLDR

Using this code in an otherwise clean personal ini completely clears the tags category in calibre. It works great for my purposes but am unsure why it happens.

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,blanklist
#uses the blank "blanklist" extra valid entry to somehow remove everything else from the calibre tags category"
#this is what I want but I have no idea why it happens
include_subject_tags:blanklist

2. I'm trying to automatically sort genres out of the multitude of random tags from ao3 and am unsure what to do.

I have two "add_to_extra_valid_entries:" called genrelist and extratagslist. Both work and are setup to send tags into appropriate custom columns. How would I set it up so that only a specific list of genre tags (ex humor,adventure,action,fantasy,drama) stay in the "genrelist" and everything not matching goes to "extratagslist"?

Spoiler:

#this creates the "extra_valid_entries"
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,extratagslist,genrelist


#this adds everything from extratags and genre to both extra_valid_entries
include_in_extratagslist:genre,extratags
include_in_genrelist:genre,extratags


replace_metadata:
#No idea what would have to go here


custom_columns_settings:
#send extratagslist data to #extratags custom column  
 extratagslist=>#extratags

#send genrelist data to #genre custom column  
 genrelist=>#genre

What would I do so only a certain list of words stay in genrelist and everything except those specific words stay in extratagslist?
