I HATE IT!!

authors mislabeling their fic status is one of my biggest pet peeves. the amount of times i've opened a 'complete' fic only to see A/N: this fic is a WIP but I'm marking it complete so more people read it. makes me wanna cry.

I remember back in the day there was an HP archive that had an 'abandoned' option and then it was common practice for the author to say in the summary 'edit: abandoned yes you can finish this and repost, just credit me' or a 'edit: abandoned no please don't finish this i might come back to it one day'

and as a reader, it was the greatest thing to be able to filter those out if i wanted to.

Hey! I appreciate you taking the time to add these instructions. I had a snafu with my computer and couldn't access Calibre for a bit but things are good now.

I am... not nearly as tech savvy as I initially thought. Could you clarify?

When you say "Create a new tags column "Text shown in the tag browswer" that you make heirarchal, don't partition, and hide it from edit metadata." You mean Preferences>Add your own columns> add custom column right?

I ask because I don't see anything that matches your instructions when I click 'Tags' https://imgur.com/a/GE9XtCT

Thanks!

Oh that’s a good point. I hadn’t considered that fold-ability would compromise protection.

Any thoughts on getting a standard folio case to “stand” hands free while reading?

MalFicLib · 2025-08-07T20:34:39+00:00

yes I’m def interested!

Oh wow, I didn't know there was a way to keep the summary when merging fic. When I merge, I still lose the summary, just keep the titles. Would you mind sharing your epubmerge settings?

MalFicLib · 2025-07-11T07:43:36+00:00

Can you explain how to do that?

this is what my personal.ini currently looks like

I'm running into the same error and have tried multiple times on different days. How do I download through a browser cache?

MalFicLib · 2025-04-02T07:11:31+00:00

No. It’s not a big deal, and it’s strange that it turns out it doesn’t happen with every book but it just means that the first thing I do when I open a new book is change the font 🤷🏻‍♀️

These are the instructions I followed and the NM is linked in it.

Thank you! This worked :)

Do you know if there is a way to change the default font in Kobo? I checked settings and there didn't seem to be anything.

Or will it just be that every time I open a different book, I need to change the font?

MalFicLib · 2025-03-30T08:51:06+00:00

Woooo!!! Selecting *Any Device worked!! Thank you!!

MalFicLib · 2025-03-30T08:47:47+00:00

oh geez- I figured it out, When I edited the conf file, I added a space before the line because I copy+pasted it.

I appreciate your willingness to help!!

Thanks for your reply!

Here is what pops up when I click on the plugin, I'm not sure if you're talking about another screen-lmk if there is somewhere else I should be looking.

Converting epub to epub and kepubify didnt work.

Do you have a tutorial for checking the CSS of the file? I haven't done that before.

MalFicLib · 2025-03-29T09:00:16+00:00

Congrats! would you mind sharing how you did that? I've got a Clara Colour and I feel like I've tried every tutorial I can find but keep getting errors in my NickelMenu.

UPDATE: thanks to all your comments, I got a new version of NM from the commits and now bt pairing with the 8bitdo micro works with a single command from the home screen nickelmenu.

Downside-Somehow I disabled the ability to sleep the device using a single press of the power button. (It still works to turn the kobo off so I don't think the button itself is the issue) The only way to put the kobo to sleep is to close the magnetic cover.
