[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[salvo]

Is it possible to export my books I have downloaded via FFF to another PC? I was using the portable version of Calibre on Windows and now I want to install the full version on Linux.

This plugin has been a godsend for reading LITRPG and Webtoons!!!!!

Since you're transferring OSes, you must use the import/export tool (instead of just copying files) as there's certain filesystem incompatibilities. This will also transfer your FFF configurations.

Thanks for the tips! I tried to export it out of Windows, but it said I am using the portable version and so was not able to do the export. Let me try those links you sent and I'll let you know!

The only way would be to install FULL calibre (ie NOT Portable) on your Windows PC.

No issue having both installed but don't run them at the same time.

Copy your Preferences folder from the Portable installation.

With the new calibre install, switch libraries to the old Portable created library.

At this point you should be able to do the Export of calibre, and then do the Import on the Linux system

Do you know where the Preferences folder is or what it is called?

[PeterT]

It's stored within the Calibre Portable directory structure. The guaranteed way to open it is to go the calibre | Preferences | Advanced | Miscellaneous and select Open calibre configuration folder.

Thanks for all of the help, especially @ownedbycats!

It worked perfectly, its now busy downloading on my Arch Linux Desktop!

With FFF, I use the option of having a new cover created directly for FFN and AO3 after the update. The Generate Cover plugin is also installed for this.

Is it possible to block this for individual stories based on a tag?

I have tagged various stories with the tag “[ ] Cover”. I don't want the cover to be updated here automatically.

As there are now over 100 stories and the number is increasing, I don't want to exclude the cover update for each individual story, but am looking for a general solution.

[JimmXinu]

Cover settings is overly complicated. There's a whole wiki page about it.

I think it might be possible, but it might be complicated to figure out exactly. It would be easier if you were trying to apply a Generate Cover by tag value instead of not applying one.

In FFF settings, in the personal.ini settings tab, there's a checkbox for 'Pass Calibre Columns into FanFicFare on Update/Overwrite'.

If you check that option, then you can use calibre_std_tags in personal.ini for many settings, like generate_cover_settings:

generate_cover_settings:
 ${calibre_std_tags}=>DoStackCover=>Stacked Books

To 'not' apply, it might work to create a GC setting that basically copies existing without changing it?

Or apply your usual GC setting from generate_cover_settings using a regexp negative look- ahead assertion to not be your 'keep cover' tag. I think it's possible, but I can't remember right now.

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble with this story:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55981141

The body of the text doesn't display past the first page in Calibre's reader and some lines are randomly hidden in my e-reader.

I believe it to be the creator's style fault but I can't find how to discard it for this specific story.

Here is my only instruction about style in my personal.ini:

[archiveofourown.org:epub]

## Force FFF to keep some formating in the text
add_to_keep_html_attrs:,style,align

I've tried to put:

[https://archiveofourown.org/works/55981141:epub]

add_to_keep_html_attrs:

And setting 'keep_style_attr' to false for this story, but it doesn't work.

This is a known limitation of how I implemented 'add_to_X' -- there isn't an equivalent 'remove' feature. So there isn't a way to override the 'add_to_' in the site section from a specific story section.

OTOH, I don't see any in-line style or align attributes in that story. I don't think removing add_to_keep_html_attrs would help.

What exactly are you seeing? Can you provide exact text that isn't appearing I can search for? Post your epub? Because I don't see any obvious problems.

Have you tried commenting out the style instruction in personal.ini? Because I don't have any - did a search for 'style' and got nothing - and the story downloaded and was readable fine in my calibre.

Hello, how can I add Kudos, hits and Comment count to Calibre, from ao3 ?

I have added this to my ao3 Section:

custom_columns_settings:
#characters=>#characters
fandoms=>fandoms
ao3categories=>categories
kudos=>kudos
hits=>hits
bookmarks=>bookmarks
comments=>comments

add_to_custom_columns_settings:
fandoms=>fandoms
ao3categories=>categories
kudos=>kudos
hits=>hits
bookmarks=>bookmarks
comments=>comments

But it does not get added automatically to the column, nor is there one of those three available in the "user-defined columns" Tab.
