If you set up a meta data colums this stores all the metadata collected from a site. If you're strugeling with some code and are trying to get it right it can come in handy. If I don't get the result I'm looking for in a certain column I emty it, change the code and use Update Calibre Metadata from saved Metadata Column. For one it's faster, but also it's frowned upon to hit the same site/story over and over again which could result your IP addres being blocked or you even banned from a site (or so I've been told).

Ps. see this scrteenshot for which option to choose for the update.

No I did not, didn't have time this week to play around. I'll try again this weekend, but I'm getting so fed up ff.net issues that I'm thinking about abandoning it all together. Half the stories are crossposted on AO3 anyway.

You can ignore this, I use to have a rather large .ini file so it wanted a long line in the middle to easliy find where I wanted to go when scrolling through it. Since then I scrubbed the .ini file so it's kinda useless now, but I'm used to it.

Okay, y'all I did a dumb. I did a final update on all the fic I've been organizing (thousands of files) and didn't think there'd be new chapters, but apparently there were more that I'd downloaded without subscribing to than I predicted. My log_page wasn't working, but I figured I'd fix it once I had all the metadata downloaded finally. I do have new chapters marked, but the full-text search can't identify special characters so just searching for (new) doesn't work.

So, does anyone know if the job logs for Calibre are saved anywhere, or if there's a way to bulk search Table of Contents? This isn't like all the fics were updated recently, or everything I modified has new chapters. I have no idea how many do, and i'm kicking myself. I know this can be avoided in future, but I'd like to be able to ID new chapters now.

Instead of Calibre's Full Text Search, I tend to use the plugin Quality Check > Search ePubs feature, it's regexp and you can escape the parans: \(new\)
