Question Catalogs and excluded books

Hi!

Although i thought i've almost tamed that wonderful beast named calibre, i simply can't make the "exclude books" feature work for generated catalogs.

Certain books, which i do not want to be in the catalog, got a tag like "_Exclude".
In the catalog dialog i enter a name for the exclusion, like "Excluded books", check the activation box, select "tags" and choose the value "_Exclude" from the dropdown list.

When i generate the catalog (.epub) all books are there, also the ones marked with the tag "_Exclude"

What am i doing wrong?

No search is selected, all books are visible in the main view, only one (or no) book is selected.

I understand, that i could work around this, by an appropriate search like "not tags:"=_Exluded" before creating the catalog, but,...well...shouldn't this work the way i think it should via the create catalog function and the feature "excluded books"?

Other than that, the catalog looks fine.

Thanks!
Mike
