Thanks for the suggestion, but i already do this - it was something to save me a bit of time manually setting the field so when i do my OPDS extract for my online library i get the correct Stars.

Thanks, I tried out the new version and got quite a bit larger document so it seemed to work.

Jimm,
can the overwrite if newer function tell if an AO3 story has been updated twice in one day? I downloaded a story and then subscribed to the series it belongs to. I got a notice for an update a little later, but the update if new chapter gave an update not needed notice. The overwrite if newer option overwrote the epub. Is this a bug or an AO3 quirk? |

'overwrite if newer' only looks at the updated date and the timestamp of the ebook on disk. So what probably happened is that the author updated or replaced an existing chapter, causing the updated date to change and the notice to fire, but leaving the chapter count the same. |

What would you suggest to make sure it doesn't happen again?

I don't know of any perfect solution. If an author chooses to replace existing chapters or insert chapters in the middle, it breaks the paradigm FanFicFare assumes.
Another possible cause of Firedancer885 issue could be unfortunate timing: it's possible that the notice came quicker than the web site updated. A new chapter could have appeared between the first update check and the later overwrite if newer check. I see notices appear before the chapter shows up on the web site sometimes with ffnet. |

I checked the chapter count in the notice. It wasn't the timing. Although it could be the other way around. I downloaded the stories, subscribed to the series and the notice came later.
Thank you for the fast response |

Update from Saved Metadata Feature
So I'm working on a new feature that would be helpful for adding custom columns and populating them from existing epubs without having to go out to the sites again.
Specifically, a feature to:
But what's a good way to integrate part 2 into the FanFicFare PI user interface? So far, I'm thinking about:

What happens if someone uses Embed Metadata or Polish Books? I wouldn't exactly be surprised to find out there are people who do it in bulk on the whole library at regular intervals.
Keeping the metadata in the EPUB is not IMHO a good move. I suggest keeping it in a cache.db in the plugins folder. As far as where that option should go or what it should look like, I have no opinion. |

However, I'm more likely to abandon the idea entirely than add a whole new database. |

TBH I kind of feel a cache is more in scope than adding metadata to the book anyway (regardless of whether it doesn't appear in the GUI).
OverDrive Link uses a cache (for books previously found at a particular library), which is where I got the suggestion from. |
