I was going to ask if you were sure you installed the new zip, but I double checked and it looks like I uploaded the wrong one.

Attached is experimental version 4.37.3. Same as I thought I'd posted, plus a version bump to confirm it.

Firefox (my preferred browser, btw) browser cache uses different code, so it shouldn't have the same problems, at least.

I believe your problem is the leading '/' in '/~Library/...'. Should just be '~Library/...'

Thank you ... that fixed the problem ... in the FWIW department, I *do* need the / before Library ... the tilde takes the place of Users/myname and it expects a / after that for the next bit of the long file name ... like:

Users/myname/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/Cache_Data

PS: Here's the log file to conform that it worked :-)

That's good.

Now the question is what happens for other people. Any volunteers? Any linux users maybe?

Correct. But the copy paste showed '/~Library', not '~/Library' -- I was typing faster than I was thinking when I said "just '~Library'".

Windows 10 + Vivaldi 6.8.3381.57, no errors when downloading a new fic from ffnet.

Thanks. Can you confirm in a debug log that your browser uses Simple cache?

The current change isn't really backward compatible -- if browser cache worked before and still works with this experimental version, odds are your browser uses the other cache code.

I'm seeing entries for browsercache_blockfile, so maybe not so good a test

[JimmXinu]

Yep, that's the other Chrome cache type. Thanks for trying anyway.

Hello!

I'm currently in the process of trying to use the 'replace metadata' function to it's full potential, but I have a small question:

Does the order in which FFF replaces the metadata matter for the conditional expressions? And if it does, what is the order?

If I use the expression, let's say:

 category=>Star Wars|The Mandalorian=>Star Wars
 character==Luke=>Luke Skywalker&&category=>Star Wars

And I have a fanfiction in which 'Luke' is a character with only 'The Mandalorian' as a category:
- Will it catch it because FFF processes the expressions in the order I've written them?
- Will it catch it because FFF processes the category metadata before processing the character ones?
- Will it never catch it because FFF processes the character's metadata before the category ones?
- Will it never catch it because FFF will only use the 'raw' category metadata for the comparisons?

Yes. In the order they're listed. Keep in mind the section precedence if you put specific replaces under a specific site. Here's an example:

replace_metadata: 

 category=>^(Mass Effect - Various Authors|Mass Effect: Paragon Lost|Mass Effect \d|Mass Effect - All Media Types)$=>Mass Effect
 category=>^Mass Effect$=>Mass Effect: Andromeda&&characters=~(Ryder|Jaal Ama Darav)
 category=>^Mass Effect$=>Mass Effect Trilogy&&characters=~(Garrus|Shepard|Oriana Lawson|Kaidan Alenko|Normandy Crew)
 category=>^Mass Effect$=>Mass Effect Trilogy&&publisher==FanFiction.net

Note that the first one combines several AO3 categories into a 'Mass Effect', which is also used by ffnet and older pre-Andromeda AO3 fics.

The next two then splits that 'Mass Effect' into Trilogy and Andromeda depending on characters.

The last one then has any ffnet fics fall back to Trilogy. However, most of the time, they've already been caught by the two character-conditionals replaces.



Your example should work as expected, I think.

[ownedbycats]

Note that include/exclude_metadatas also include _pre and _post variants, which determines whether they run before or after replaces are applied.

Windows 11 latest calibre and chrome.. but sadly using blockfiles as well.. no issues seens with the test version.

[Clem2605]

Yes. In the order they're listed.

Thank you!

I guessed that it would work but I wanted to be sure ^^.

I pretty much only use AO3 these days, in part because ff.net has become such a hassle to download, so I'm not worried about site compatibility and I put my replace_metadata in the default.
However, I tend to read in a lot of different fandoms, so I'm always a bit nervous that if I'm not specific enough, I'll end up catching something I didn't intend to and breaking everything...

Have a good day!

I think AO3 may have changed its login some how. I found my regular browsing windows logged out and I was able to log in.

However, this morning fanficfare was not able to use the login saved in the config file and my typed user id and password was not accepted.

Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks

I now have a new error so I think something in my chrome may be messing it up. I appreciate the feedback. I will let the cache expire and see if that helps it.
