Is there a way (maybe this is a feature request?) to use boolean operations in User Categories? For example, I've tagged magazines as "Magazine". Under a User Category called "Woodworking" I'd want sub-categories "Techniques", "Plans", and "Magazines", with similar sub-categories under a category called "Metalworking". And I'd want a very general User Category called "Magazine".

So, I might take one ebook with "Metalworking" and "Magazine". But it would also display in the "Woodworking" sub-category "Magazines". Is there a way (or could there be a way in a future release) to have a sub-category for Tag1 AND Tag2 (or Author and Tag1 or Author AND Genre or some sort of boolean control?

A possible work around, of course, would be tagging "Magazine", "Woodworking", and "Magazine (Woodworking)" but I'd love to save that extra step. Especially with 1000+ titles under a couple of dozen different categories...

Thanks for your insights, and your plug-in!
