I have examined the files for the css and template that produce the metadata jacket. It is pretty simple to edit those to include or exclude certain jacket metadata when converting to an EPUB, for example.

But how about filtering which tags get included? Most of my tags represent genres like Fiction, Non Fiction, History, Crime/Mystery, Reference, Humour, Thriller, and so on. But some of them represent administrative tags like _NEW, _RECOMMENDED, _IMPROVE, and others I do not want to appear in the book jacket for various reasons. Is there any way to exclude certain tags from the metadata during conversion or polishing, or do you have to either include all the tags, or none of them?

The way I work and manage my library makes the inclusion of various non-genre admin tags VERY useful (you can easily combine them with the normal genres in searches or virtual libraries in order to work with a particular set of books), so to be able to filter these behind-the-scenes tags from the jacket metadata would be really useful.
