If I have 10 Genre tags and 10 Source tags, and I use one of each for each book, that's...a LOT of permutations to sort through if I were to do an export along the lines of:
{tags}/{author} - {title}
Is there a way in Calibre to designate WHICH tags are allowed for use in the send-to-device naming? If I could set it up so that only my Genre tags are used or only my Source tags are used, that would mean I would only have 10 folders to sort through instead of 100 or whatever.
I realize this would be kind of tricky to implement - you'd have to generate a list of all the existing tags and let the user pick which ones are used in the {tags} variable, but I thought it might not hurt to ask if it was on the list...

There is nothing like that on the to-do list.
The 'right' way to do this is not to intermix dissimilar information in the same field, but instead to make custom columns that hold a particular information type. In your case, given that you say there is one value per book, create a text 'genre' column and a text 'reviewers' column. You can them choose which column to use in templates according to the need-of-the-moment.
If you might have more than one reviewer/genre for a book (which is likely for genre), use a tags-like custom column.
