Keyword Filter on Import

Hello, not sure on the best place for this. I have searched but cant find anything... is there a way to import ROMS but exclude key words ie (DEMO) or (PROTO) etc. I am finding myself with duplicate sets as I have a full CHD set for sega32 as a example, ideally I would Launchbox use the same location as RomVault and just filter what I don't want. I appreciate I can remove things after, would just be nice if I could ignore them on import to start with.

yeah have tried that (what I currently do out side of Launchbox. The add files feature doesn't support nested folders... if I add a folder it will see the .chd in a folder... if I add files and search for them it doesn't seem to scan in the folders. Out side of launchbox does.

You can drag and drop onto Launchbox. So do the search in explorer, exclude the things you dont want in that search, CTRL A to highlite all the search results and drag and drop them onto Launchbox.
