I see the problem now. It only shows up if you have sort_ships turned on.

Attached is a version that should fix that for you.

thank you, Jimm. I appreciate all your hard work.

Attached is a version that force metadata values to be strings. It seems to work better.

FYI, I don't know what's wrong with your IMG tag, but I don't see it in the post, only in the reply text as a tag.

Thank you very much, Jim. I'm able to d/l stories from fictionpad now

Is there any way of adding a custom column with new metadata without re-downloading the entire library?

You can use Update Calibre Metadata Only. But other than that, no.

Thanks, I'll give that a look.

Help please - every time I download a fic, this error comes up:

calibre, version 1.41.0

The fic is still there, but i don't know if there's a problem that's hidden or not.

Any ideas please?

Is there anyway of making a search-term based on the date added to calibre?

Yes. The following shows everything added since the the 1st of June:

date:>2014-06-1

The search help has some more examples.

If you look at the last couple lines of that error, it's coming from Reading List, not FFDL.

That suggests that either you have RL configured wrong, or you don't have custom column #new_read setup.

Go into FFDL config on the Reading List tab and disable updating Reading Lists and try it again to confirm that it's not FFDL.

If you install the Count Pages plugin and configure it, then you can configure FFDL to automatically run Count Pages when a story is downloaded/updated.

[Tanjamuse]

I don't need to know how many pages there are in a story.

I'm trying to keep track of downloading an entire archieve from one universe, for example Pirates of the Carribbean. And I thought if I could make a custom column for keeping track of which number site it is downloaded from it would be easier, if you have any other suggestions please, don't hold back.

It's a common question.

The URL to each story is saved in calibre's Identifiers column.

What does "number site it is downloaded from" mean? If you mean "I happened to find this story on a particular page of a particular list", you can make a custom column to record the URL for that page of that list, but FFDL doesn't have anything that's going to record that automatically for you.
