[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

Yes, you can uncheck (hide) any column in Preferences ==> Look and feel ==> Book Details (tab)

That only hides them in the right side of Calibre. I'm talking about the one you get when you press I on the keyboard. See attached image:

I've uploaded a new test version:

• Set Busy/Wait mouse cursor and emit status message while doing Fetch from Email or Fetch from Web Page.
• Normalize story URLs with Fetch from Email to include only one per story (mostly AO3 emails).
• Add optional feature to auto-reject URLs from Fetch from Email when on Reject URLs List.
• Fixes for Save Metadata and Include Calibre Column Data features.

[JimmXinu]

And there's more of the complexity: figuring out about related calibre features.

I don't know if there's any way to control what appears in the Calibre Book Details dialog--I don't use it. Looking at the calibre code, it doesn't look like there is.

So you can either:

• Live with it.
• Not use this new feature.
• Convince me to change how this feature is implemented. For a third time.
• Convince Kovid (and/or other developer) to change how the book details dialog works.

Well from me I didn't even know that calibre feature existed so no problems here with it showing up.

As for the saved metadata it is certainly very useful, not so much right now that I have mostly put the metadata to write somewhere but still can be used and back when I started using it would have saved me a lot of trouble from having to spend weeks going through all stories in small chunks because I hadn't created columns for certain metadata and now wanted them.

Well, I am afraid calibre doesn't allow you to customize that one.

However, it does respect the order that you list things in the book details panel, which means you can move it to the bottom at least.

Hello once again!

I have a question about replacing metadata (again).

For example, I have the tag "Jotun Loki" - and I change this by putting:

replace_metadata:
 character=>Jotun Loki=>Jötun!Loki

There are many tags in stories from AO3, many of them are not in the "character"-category, I suppose. Like "domestic fluff", "charcter death", "team as a family",... And I don't know what to write in front of that tags in the personal.ini to get them changed. (I cannot express myself, sorry.)

How do I know which category a tag belongs to?

Thank you for your help!

How do I know which category a tag belongs to?

If you look on the story page on AO3, there are labels on the different groups of tags. See attached.

FanFicFare metadata entries don't quite map perfectly to AO3's labels, though. What AO3 labels "Fandom" is put in both fandoms and category in FFF. "Additional Tags" -> freeformtags and genre.
"Relationships" -> ships.

By default (using the include_subject_tags ini parameter), extratags, genre, category, characters, ships, status are all included in calibre's Tags column.

If that's not clear enough, please give specific examples of stories and which metadata you're trying to figure out.

FYI, in addition to replace_metadata, there are also include/exclude features. For example, I use:

exclude_metadata_pre:
 freeformtags,genre==Other Additional Tags to Be Added
 warnings==Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
 warnings==No Archive Warnings Apply

Hello Jim!

Thank you very much for your quick rreply!

I have another question now: Do I have to put the change for both in the personal.ini?

replace_metadata:
 category=>.*Avengers.*=>The Avengers
 fandom=>.*Avengers.*=>The Avengers

Or let's take this story:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/219...apters/4803567
I want "Memory Loss", "Tony has issues", and "Jotun!Loki" to be changed.

So I am going to add into the personal.ini

replace_metadata:
 freeformtags=>memory loss=>amnesia
 genre=>.*has issues=>Drama
 freeformtags=>Jotun!Loki=>Jötunn!Loki

Is that right?

I'll just experiment, but I wouldn't want to blow up my ini-file...

Trying it out and experimenting is how I do it. But you consider using a separate test library.

You might also consider adding ^ and $ so that it only matches those strings, eg:

replace_metadata:
 freeformtags=>^memory loss$=>amnesia
 genre=>^.*has issues$=>Drama

Otherwise, a tag Bob has issues with authority could become Drama with authority

All of this is only needed because AO3 lets anybody assign any tag they want.

I've been debating adding a feature to look up (and cache) AO3's tag hierarchy, since they've started equating random tags with more general ones (see Humor for example). But it would be quite a database.

[Tanjamuse]

If you're talking votes regarding the project, I'll vote yes, and help if I can?

AO3 self has a project called "Tag Wrangling" (see http://archiveofourown.org/admin_pos...d=en&commit=Go) with Wrangling Guidelines.
Maybe that´s a help?

Hello and thanks again, Jim!

I appreciate your help very much. I think with the links to the wiki-pages you provided and some testing I will get the most commonly used tags under control.

I tested a bit, and I have this problem: When I add something like this:

replace_metadata:
 freeformtags=>^Protective Thor$=>Thor&&freeformtags=>Protectiveness

it does not work. And unlike with "genre", "Warnings", "ships" or similar, the term "freeformtags" does not turn green. Could you give me any suggestions?

Edit:
I changed it to

replace_metadata:
 genre=>Protective Thor=>Thor&&genre=>Protectiveness

which did not work, but

replace_metadata:
 genre=>Protective Thor=>Protectiveness

did it.

I still do not understand why "freeformtags" does not seem to be accepted.

So, I'm getting an error since I updated to the last version of the plugin, the beta posted 5/15. I've got calibre updated to latest version, and restarted multiple times, as well as restarting my computer just for good measure.
I may have updated calibre to latest version before I started getting this error, I'm not really sure if there were problems before. The first time I noticed it I brushed it off because I was doing some conversion in the database, and I just manually updated the fics I wanted instead of trying to restart to see if that fixed the problem.

Whenever I try and get urls from an email I get the following:
calibre, version 2.28.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'set' and 'list'

I can give you the plugin list if you need it, but I have a lot of them and the post will already be cluttered.
