Mindful · 05-31-2016, 12:40 AM

I like using tags, and some of the tags downloaded are useful, but many are not.

For example, the "General" tag. What is this even supposed to mean? Some other tags will be repetitive such as "Programming" and "Programming Languages." I would just like one tag "Programming."

Where do these tags originate from? From Google or are they associated with the ISBN number?

Besides, my curiosity on how tags originate, I would still like to use metadata downloads to auto populate tags for my books, but I would like to block certain tags from being downloaded such as "General" or "Programming Languages" when "Programming" itself would suffice.

How do I go about doing this? Thanks
