Each replace_metadata line is considered separately, there isn't a mechanism for "didn't match any other line".

One option would be:

You might add your "_Misc." prefix to all entries before looking for specifics like Tolkien and then remove it as part of setting Tolkien.

A second option would be:

There are '.'s in some fandoms, so we can't use that reliably detect already prefixed lines. But it would be possible if you use something other than '.' as the separator during processing--something reasonably expected to be unused anywhere else. Subsitute in "Tolkien__MYDELIMITER__Hobbit" for example.

Then add lines to first prepend your "_Misc." to any entry that doesn't contain "__MYDELIMITER__" (needs to use negative lookahead (?!...) ) and then a final line to change "__MYDELIMITER__" back to '.'.

Thank you! I like the idea of just applying "_Misc." to all fandom tags and then that prefix would be removed as the fandom tag gets formatted correctly.

I added "category=>(.*)=>_Misc.\1" to replace_metadata, but it's adding "_Misc." to both the the beginning and the end of each fandom tag.

Did I do that correctly, or should I maybe add it somewhere other than replace_metadata?

Nevermind! It turns out it needs to be + instead of a * to prepend it, so: "category=>(.+)=>_Misc.\1"

Thanks again!

I would use "category=>^(.*)$=>_Misc.\1" adding ^ (beginning string) and $ (end of string) anchors, just to be sure. There have been cases in past where it was necessary.

I forgot to check for one. I'll do that.

I'm trying to configure my personal.ini to not import chapter summaries. And I did, but now I'm not getting the work summary, either. Is there a line that will still let it pull the work summary, but not the individual chapter summaries?

[chicleeblair]

Nope, installed the test and got this:


HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache (see FFF setting browser_cache_age_limit)'(428) URL:'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14434163/1/Death-By-a-Thousand-Cuts'
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1443416...-Thousand-Cuts

I tried both Chrome and Safari

Maybe? Those are site specific.

What site, what settings have you changed, and can you provide an example story URL? Not all stories have all types of notes.

That looks like you didn't pre-cache the pages for the Browser Cache Feature.

OTOH, if you usually use open_pages_in_browser:true, and are on Mac, you might be seeing this issue where apparently Mac doesn't want to let FFF/Calibre open URLs in browser.

Oh, sorry. That's what I get for posting while I'm on headache drugs. The site is AO3. Here's a link to one of mine: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22090135 It's not restricted to logged in users or anything.

Here's the custom settings I'm using in personal.ini: exclude_notes:authorheadnotes,chapterheadnotes,cha pterfootnotes,authorfootnotes,chaptersummary,inspi redlinks

It is excluding the chapter summaries, which I want, but it's also including the main story summary. That's the problem.

Thanks for your help!

[JimmXinu]

That setting line works for me--after removing the spaces I assumed were added by MR.

I suspect you have another exclude_notes line somewhere else in personal.ini that's taking precedence.

Question: When I start downloading, i get a popup saying 'fetched metadata for 1/1.' There's a cancel button on it but I can't cancel it as it just whites out and goes not responding. Is there a way to cancel aside from wait?

Not really.

As I recall, the cancel is applied when the network request (or sleep) come back, but those are down inside the code without good ways to 'cancel'.

I accidentally overwrote a ff book I had previously edited. Is there a way to undo that or find the old epub version? I assume not but thought I would ask prior to re-editing the book I downloaded. Thanks for any help or links (if there is one) that answers this question.

[JimmXinu]

When FFF deletes an epub to update it, it should be available in Calibre's "Restore recently delete" under the "Formats" tab.

Otherwise, pull it from backup? Maybe you have a device you put it on but haven't updated yet?
