AttributeExploder: By default the AttributeExploder adds fme_attributes to exploded features. Sometimes you would like this, but in many cases they are unnecessary and must be filtered out. Is it possible to do one of the following options:1. Add an option to choose (or not to choose) whether fme_attributes should be added in an Explode.2. Is it possible to integrate a AttributeExposer to the AttributeExploder in which you can set which (un)exposed attributes should be added and if none are selected none will be exploded.

I agree. Found your post while looking for a way to not have these hidden attributes being exploded. Guess my workaround filter will have to do for now.

The AttributeListExploder from the FME Hub (+ListExploder) could also be an interim workaround.

Yes, I would like an option like "Ignore format attributes" in AttributeExploder.

For now, I'm forced to expose all format attributes and to use AttributeRemover to remove them before my AttributeExploder. Not good.

As of FME 2022.1 and newer, there is a parameter in the AttributeExploder called “Ignore Attributes Containing”. You can configure it with a regular expression such as: 

^fme_|^multi_

 to not have attributes that begin with fme or multi in it.
