Is there a way to permanently exclude items from the import list?

[duerra]

Steam has decided to include items in my library that I can hide in steam, but always show up on imports when I run the LaunchBox importer.  Typically these are "test" or "beta" servers/games or utility software.  Is there a way I can tell LaunchBox to permanently ignore these items and not show them in the import list?

I don't believe the Steam API has that level of granularity, but if you turn on the automatic import functionality under Tools > Manage > Storefronts, that comes with a sort of black list option. After the first automatic import, you simply delete the games you don't want to see in LaunchBox, and they won't ever be automatically imported again. If you accidentally delete a game you shouldn't have, you can then run through the manual Steam import wizard to get it back.
