Parent Category in metadata or a way to subtract tags

[Reberebe]

Hi, I asked about metadata a while back in this post
#2952

with the help granted in that post I ended up using the following

<(%artist:separator=);(%)>;<%meta:separator=;%>;<│%character:separator=│;│%│>;<╳%copyright:separator=╳;╳%╳>;%all:separator=;%;

but I made the mistake of using General instead of all (Since as seen I'm using prefixes for artist, character, copyright and meta)
I'm thinking on going back at it and re-downloading the gallery, but this time using all instead of general
the thing is that, I would like a way to easily scroll through artist tags same as with characters and copyright (anime titles),
which is why I was adding those prefixes, so I have a two part question

Is there a way to subtract tags?
so I can have all -artist -character -copyright -meta in the tag fields?
or is there a way to have the tag category as a parent tag?

I would appreciate any sort of help, re-downloading everything will take some time so I would like to avoid making any mistakes like I did last time while avoiding having a bunch of duplicated tags as well (that's is if I were to go and use all while also having the prefixed version of those tags)

Hello 👋

Is there a way to subtract tags?

I have to admit I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't this %all% -artist -character -etc. be the same as %general% in the end, since you're excluding everything else? If you really want to go that way, there is a ignorenamespace option available that should do what you want.

or is there a way to have the tag category as a parent tag?

I'm not sure I understand the "tag category as a parent tag" thing, sorry. Maybe includenamespace? 😅
