Sweet, I found a low-severity bug?

Thanks!

I'm also wondering... There's the option to organize the books by tags, but I use my tags to indicate Genre and Source (i.e., where the book came from. This is important to me as a reviewer, because if a book came from an author or a publisher, I have to note that in my review due to federal reviewing guidelines.)

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...

Thank you again - I LOVE CALIBRE!
