Uncheck the 'Keep on top' feature and then it won't... stay on top.

It took me a bit to find that option because I expected it on the dialog itself rather than the FFF settings. Would it be possible to move/duplicate the checkbox?

First, use [code] tags to preserve spacing when posting here. Some spacing matters.

I've tried to clean up your posted INI code and comment why:

[defaults]
[archiveofourown.org]

##extra_valid_entries:fandoms, freeformtags, freefromtags,  ao3categories, tags, cleantags, fulltags 
## This basically removes a bunch of other AO3 entries from defaults.ini
## Instead only add your new metadata entries:
add_to_extra_valid_entries:tags, cleantags, fulltags 
## Although it doesn't look like fulltags is used.

cleantags_label:Clean Tags
fulltags_label:Full Tags

## Keeping in order may not work when you get to a Calibre column,
## several kinds auto-sort.
keep_in_order_freeformtags:true
keep_in_order_ships:true

add_to_custom_columns_settings:
 freeformtags=>#fulltags
 fulltags=>#fulltags
 cleantags=>#cleantags

sort_ships:true

## removed 'tags', doesn't appear to be used, 
## and you don't need to worry about freefromtags.
replace_metadata:
#this replaces metadata with what I want
 category,genre,freeformtags=>^[Ff]luff [Aa]nd [Aa]ngst$=>Fluff\,Angst
 category,genre,freeformtags=>^[Aa]ngst [Aa]nd [Hh]umo(u)?r$=>Humor\,Angst


##[defaults]
## Keep in [archiveofourown.org] -- freeformtags and cleantags aren't 
## defined for most sites.  add_to_ in case you have other custom_columns_settings in 
## [defaults].
add_to_custom_columns_settings: 
 freeformtags=>#fulltags
 cleantags=>#cleantags

##include_in_cleantags:fulltags
##I assume you meant to populate full tags:
include_in_fulltags:freeformtags
include_in_cleantags:freeformtags

add_to_exclude_metadata_pre:
##category,genre==Other Additional Tags to Be Added
 warnings==Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
 warnings==No Archive Warnings Apply
 category,genre,cleantags==Other Additional Tags to Be Added
 category,genre,cleantags=~^I .*
 category,genre,cleantags=~^[Aa]dditional.*
 category,genre,cleantags=~^[Aa]uthor.*
 
add_to_include_metadata_post:
    cleantags==Action/Adventure  
    cleantags==Angst  
    cleantags==Crack  
    cleantags==Drama

Without specific story URLs to test (and what you consider 'wrong' with what you're getting), it's difficult to help much more.

Thank you! This was my first time posting so I appreciate the formatting tip.
I'm trying to clean up the "fulltags" and pipe the cleaned version to "cleantags". And then only have the tags listed under 'add_to_include_metadata_post:' be included in "cleantags". How can I adjust the ini to achieve this?

So the only option I see is to use the db.data.marked_ids dict directly to see what marks already exist and set them again as well.

Looking directly at the data structures instead of using an API is sketchy, even if that's how actions/mark_books.py does it.

Further thought then raises the question: What should happen when a new FFF mark would go on the same book as a pre-existing mark? Which should take priority? The whole point was to preserve pre-existing marks and now we can't guarantee it?

This is the point where I'm thinking it's not worth the effort. Marks are intentionally transient in nature. Use a column value or a Reading List if you want something that is more durable.

I agree that it's not worth the effort. Thought you were deliberately calling a clear function so it would be easy to disable

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.
