New Steam Games Not Showing Up on LaunchBox

I integrated my Steam ID and API key into LaunchBox about two months ago. I noticed today that my recent purchases haven't appeared on LaunchBox.

I used Tools>Scan for Added ROMs>For Windows...

It found nothing.

My workaround was to Import>Steam games and that's how I got my Steam collection on LaunchBox updated.

It's a minor issue, but I'm assuming that "Scan for Added ROMs" is the intended feature for updated your collection to reflect the Steam account. Also, it didn't mattered if games were installed or not here.

"Scan for added roms" is just that, for roms, steam games are window .exe's not roms. If you want to add newly bought Steam games you simply run the steam importer again. The steam importer isnt checking your local files, but your actual steam profile to identify what games you have.
