Silly question, but is there a difference in commenting out a personal.ini line with only one # instead of two?

No.
In defaults.ini I try to use two for textual comments and one for commented out config lines, but there's nothing enforcing it. |

Any errors in this before I add to the MetadataManagement page? I'm mostly concerned about the titlepage_entries.
Code:
### Alternate Method for Series Descriptions This requires Calibre 7.0 or later, which added [category notes](https://calibre-ebook.com/new-in/sixteen). To begin with, go to Preferences > Add your own columns, and create a new column with a lookup name of `seriesdesc`, type of 'column, built from other columns', and a template of ``program: get_note('series', $series, '')``. You may also want to use 'Show with comments in book details.' This will allow you to add a note to the series by right-clicking the entry in Book Details. With 'Pass Calibre Columns into FanFicFare on Update/Overwrite' enabled, this allows the user to then insert the series description on the title page: [defaults] calibre_cust_seriesdesc_label:Series Description titlepage_entries: seriesHTML,category,genre,language,characters,ships,status,datePublished,dateUpdated,dateCreated,rating,warnings,numChapters,numWords,publisher,calibre_cust_seriesdesc,description Note that upon downloading a book from a series from the first time, you will need to add the series note and then run 'Update Always' to have it appear. |

I don't use calibre notes, so I have no comment on that part. For example, I don't know what the advantage of using notes over a long text column is.
Might want to add calibre_cust_seriesdesc to wide_titlepage_entries, but that's not as important as it was back when title page was a <table>. That's why description formats differently. [defaults] titlepage_entries is overridden by [txt] version in defaults.ini, but I doubt anyone doing this will be using txt. |

PSA: Archive of our Own is currently down for maintenance to fix some issues.
Lack of duplication is the main one for me. Instead of having to populate a column with the same description on every book (and needing to run a search-and-replace to update this), I just have one note. |

Fair enough. I didn't realize the note was on the series record, not the book record.
Hmmm. I get an error trying to open the Series Manager. I wonder what's up with that? Update: Restarted Calibre and it works again. Last edited by JimmXinu; 03-28-2024 at 05:13 PM. |

So, I have a weird case with the plugin. I was downloading some prospective stories to read from sufficient velocity, and it refused to download ONE story specifically. Looking at the error log, it seems to say 404. Which is wild because every other story works fine. Anyone got a clue what's going on here?

Xenforo forum sites show user-only threads as 404 unless you are logged in.
You need to add your personal.ini either: Code:
## For just this story [https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/the-dungeon-without-a-system.97590/] username:YourName password:yourpassword always_login:true ## or for all SV downloads: [forums.sufficientvelocity.com] username:YourName password:yourpassword always_login:true |

Thanks. That's wild that after years of getting stories from the website with your (great!) plugin, I've never had this problem before. But I didn't realize it was in the unlisted fiction subforum either, should've noticed that before.
But that solution a bit of a problem itself, I assume it can't get past the Two-Step Verification, since I tried that solution and it didn't work. Hmm, I guess I'm out of luck unless I disable the Two-Step, right? |

Correct. IMO, anything that needs 2FA levels of security, you shouldn't be giving that password to FFF anyway.

Hoping I'm not repeating something here. FYI, I observed the problem before updating FFF and Epub Merge, updated both plugins, restarted Calibre and the issue is still here.
I'm attempting to use the Update Anthology function to update a series that's already in my calibre. The series I'm updating has 47 works in it (example: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2579419; 3 pages of individual works). But when I attempt to update, FFF is only pulling in the first 20 works of the series -- just the URLs from page 1 . Is this a known issue? Thanks again for all that you do. FFF is such an amazing plugin. ETA: I have screenshots of the issue if you want them. But I couldn't quickly find a place to host the pics, so I'll just describe them the first is the Story URLs for Anthology popup, showing only 20 urls found. the second image is the alert showing that the rest of the works will be deleted from the anthology if I choose to update, because FFF didn't pull those URLs.
