Is it possible that the warnings can be included in the Tags?

If you recall our earlier discussion, include_subject_tags controls what appears in Tags. Add warnings to that list.

Thanks a bunch, I'll take notes

Version 1.8.20 - 13 May 2014

• Fix for AO3 story not found.
• Fix for storiesonline.net changing urls.

• Fix for dark-solace.org metadata parsing.

I've marked the polish function, but there are borders on the cover, I thought that ithe image would fill out the whole front page?

No idea--FFDL just calls calibre's Polish. I don't know anything about Polish's settings.

Test version with a(nother) fix for dark-solace.org, this time to parse Rating correctly.

Nice, and good idea. I don't suppose you can help with copying and overwriting from one library to another, and getting the metadata updated correctly?

Not really. But there's sub forum on library management.

Jimm, I just tried your suggested method on a new batch of fics, and it works well. Thanks. The auto method also works on ff.net fics which I use ffdl to download. It's a nice way to manage everything with my nook.

You know, after the onedirection site, I don't know why a general rock band fanfic site surprises me. I've add that to the 'Under Consideration' list. But there's not really active development on new sites right now.

I always forget about ff.net. I guess it depends on what corner of fandom you're in. It is the big fanfic site, but when AO3 and their Open Doors scheme came about, it seemed like the death knell for smaller and new archives. So I was surprised to see the onedirection archive on the list.

Rock fanfic is such a lowkey yet well established side to fandom. Fanzines from the 70s etc. I guess it's very oldschool about the 4th wall and drawing attention to itself. It's very much a product of its time. I also think it got publicly usurped by the younger "bandom".

Is it possible to mark the ones on the reading list in a different color, so it is easier to spot?

Not directly. But it is possible indirectly. The Reading List plugin can set custom columns and a column value can affect coloring. See calibre's Preferences > Look & Feel > Column Coloring.

A quick google search for 'calibre reading list column coloring' finds this previous discussion.

I've added a custom column called Fandom, is it possible to get that one filled automatically?

Thanks for the great plugin, JimmXinu!

Just wanted you to know that downloading stories from literotica.com no longer works (Calibre 1.37 & FFDL 1.8.20). This is what happens when I try to download a story (FFDL log):


Status | Title | Author | Comment | URL
Bad | Unknown | Unknown | unknown url type: //www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=871550&page=submissions | http://www.literotica.com/s/caught-by-the-tide-ch-10


Again, thanks for the great plugin!

Depends. AO3 site-specific fandoms metadata can be set in a custom column using custom_columns_settings. We discussed something very similar for ffnet favs earlier.

Most sites, however, put 'fandom' (what show/book/movie the fanfic is from) in the standard metadata Category.
