Hello, I realize this thread is old by this point, but I was wondering if you ever completed the guide you were working on? After a long time not using calibre and fanficfare myself I find myself in need of relearning both. I no longer have my old personal.ini file (old laptop died and I had no backup of it), and it's difficult to find my way around the forums and pick up bits and pieces of information (though I am going through threads and collecting what I can).
If anyone else has something I'd also appreciate it. Quote:

Rating Archive Warning Fandom crossovers as well? Relationships possibly separate / and & relationships?

Chapters Comments Kudos Bookmarks I've downloaded a large number of fics from my bookmarks, marked for later and history with the ao3downloader tool, and would like to organize those, and then continue updating them with FFF (which I was told was possible). I had tried using both calibre and FFF a long time ago, but always had trouble understanding it. They are complex and there's a huge amount of information that I find overwhelming, but need to organize the large number of fics saved over time (I joined AO3 in September of 2010). |

I've been trying to compare this .ini with the one a friend in a Discord server provided to see what parts are the same and what I could just add, but I have to admit defeat. It is almost like I cannot parse the code. Some parts I get; like there are parts that remove some metadata, and other that style the main window or book, and while I don't understand the regex (?) for word count, I get the purpose it serves.
I feel like I need to do something about the huge number of freeform tags that would accumulate if I let them all be imported, but I'm uncertain about removing some tags. Do I understand correctly that the first option in examples below will delete the tag, which the second would rename it?? Code:
freeformtags=>^(Alternate Universe)$=> freeformtags=>^(Alternate Universe -)=>AU - Code:
icons_LIST=>^(Bookmarked\, Subscribed)$=>���� ## Don't show bookmarked icon, don't show subscribed icon icons_LIST=>^(Not Bookmarked\, Not Subscribed)$=>◈ ## Don't show bookmarked icon, show subscribed icon icons_LIST=>^(Not Bookmarked\, Subscribed)$=>�� ## Show bookmarked icon, don't show subscribed icon icons_LIST=>^(Bookmarked\, Not Subscribed)$=>�� Spoiler:
How does one even begin to decide which things to keep and which to remove, especially faced with an archive of fics that stretched back many years? And this is just for Ao3 fics; I don't even want to think about the mass of .txt files from old webrings and personal websites... |

I attached how my setup looks, it's not the whole thing but honestly I don't have the energy to explain it step by step. If you have more questions I'll try to answer them. You can check out FanFicFare's wiki too. https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...i/CustomOutput https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...dataManagement https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/INI-File https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...eplaceMetadata I've shared my setup previously in this thread as well, most of it is still the same. |

Thank you for the links to specific issues! I've been going through some of the FAQs already as well as some of the posts here but there's a lot and it gets too much after a while. I know I won't be able to solve all of this in a week, and I'll do my best to follow the examples. If I get stuck I might take you up on your offer to ask further questions, and I might also post questions in other threads.

hey there, does anyone know how to have an ao3 fandom/catagory tag show up only once on an anthology? i'll include a picture of what i mean
ive been using calibre for years (over 17k fics downloaded) but ive been doing most of my organising manually- i only recently found out that all of this was a thing. i may have more questions in the future, ive tried reading through this thread but i dont understand a lot of it. im autistic so i sometimes get confused. im excited to have found all this though, its already saving me time now i have a few custom columns working! thanks! |
