Persistent Category/Genre Trees

Does anyone have a way of setting up a Genre tree with its category values even if one has no books of that category.

The manual states - A genre does not exist in calibre until it appears on at least one book

But I'd like to set up Controlled Vocabularies in advance of assigning books to the categories.

Some knowledge domains have Controlled Vocabularies which are commercial properties - ie one can license the IPR. It would be nice to be able to import the values from a text file so that the 'Genre' values are an exact match of defacto standards for the knowledge domain in question.

The only possible solution I can think of is to create an empty book for each category. But that's not a very appealing solution if the vocabulary has hundreds of entries... unless one could put the books in an stealth jacket

Hmmmm... a hide books feature could do that... that would do me.

Thanks BR
