[Qgis-developer] Bug on Labels?

> Hi all,

What about setting the transparency of the labels you want to hide?
Traditionally in order to only label some features we would need to
implement some type of SQL to select which features to apply labels to.
I don't think QGIS has this yet, but we can put it down on the list of
requested features.

Another work around is to extract the polygons you want to label to a
new layer and label that layer while keeping the styles of the 2 the
same. This would achieve the same look with a little more work.
