These fixes can be found already in the public files so it's possible to go grab new copy of it, but I will make this as clear and easy as possible.   This is the line of code that needs to be added to the script: `extractedText = extractedText.replace(/\s*\([^)]*\)/g, "").trim();`   How to add this? 1. Open your file. 2. Choose Extensions > Apps Script from the top. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png.png?width=980&height=335&name=image-png.png) It opens a new window which can be a bit overwhelming at first. 3. Choose custom menu.gs from the left side panel. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=524&height=218&name=image-png-1.png) 4. Find row 62 with the code `extractedText = items.join(", ");` 5. Place the cursor at the end of that line and press enter, creating new line. 6. Copy & paste this code to the new line: `extractedText = extractedText.replace(/\s*\([^)]*\)/g, "").trim();` 7. Save the script as shown in the picture below. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-2.png?width=575&height=425&name=image-png-2.png) 8. Close the tab.   Congratulations! You might have touched to the Apps Scripts for the first time ever! :) But jokes aside: I will be giving editing options in the same manner whenever I have time to create them.   #### Other option to do this 1. Follow the steps 1, 2 and 3. 2. Delete everything from that script (custom menu.gs). 3. Go to [this link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PMOouR7o5BvMNbHwawIaf_0vC8D03AEP/view?usp=sharing) (txt file containing the whole script in Google Drive). 4. Copy and paste it to the script file where you just deleted all the text. 5. Save the script as shown in the picture below. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-2.png?width=575&height=425&name=image-png-2.png) 6. Close the tab.   See also video below to see every step as you go.     I'm truly sorry that this happened! I think I messed up with something when I was trying few different options to *maybe* add to the code earlier, before giving the latest beta version to the last tester and we didn't catch it, but better late than never! Many might not care about this, especially if they are reading multiple fandoms, but as I read basically just one, I personally need it for a cleaner look.   Similar additions to clean the look for your liking are coming later, for example: - Way to combine multiple different ways to tag original characters - Way to edit almost any tag to fit better your liking, for example: - Sane Tom Riddle & Sane Voldemort cleared to the same tag - Separating tags like "Fluff and Angst" to their own tags These are still a work in progress since the release of this version almost got late when I was trying to get these work, but I will make these happen, sooner or later, be it weeks or months!
