Is it possible to sync Wishlist and Library directly from Steam?

I'm currently working on a barter syncing helper (since I can no longer sync with it, it's not going to be automated) so you'll be able to import your wishlist from there, but of course it's not a great solution. Ideally I should sync steam wishlists automatically before I even start with barter sync... meh.

I'm nearly done with Steam wishlist sync... :)

I had a huge stupid bug in my Barter scraper where games added to your Barter wishlist were marked as imported from Steam, while games imported from Steam into Barter and then scraped by LT would be marked as imported from Barter. Of course it was supposed to be the other way around... I wasted a couple hours on this until I realized it was just a matter of inverting a test result. Thankfully, because the Steam sync wasn't in place yet, it was relatively easy to just swap results in the database. The only person who got their list screwed was me, then. I recovered part of it from a backup. Who cares, it's just one person out of 1000 :P

Anyway, I'm putting the finishing touches into it.

The new wishlist is very welcome. Thanks :yahoo:

I noticed that items removed from the steam store are offered to be removed from the list. It would be nice to have some sensible sync options (checkboxes), for instance: "remove all", "keep items not in store", "remove items in library", etc.
Just ideas to help manage the list.

- Hopefully, Barter pseudo-sync coming tomorrow. ;)

- I didn't notice that problem. Do you mean decommissioned games..? I have lots of those, and didn't get a single notice about them... (??)


Quick question to y'all: I've been trying something for fun since yesterday-- taking quantities into account for h:w math. For instance, if there are 2 users who each have 3 copies of a game for trade, they h ratio will be 6 instead of 2. Same for wishlists, although it's less often that you'd need multiple copies (unless you're looking for multiplayer games for a group of friends..?)
All's going well, except if you set a quantity to 'infinite', which internally is handled as 99, so if there's only user who has a game for trade but has plenty of copies, you'll see a 'have' value of 99 rather than 1. I'm not sure what value I should use for those... Just 1? Even then it makes my math more complicated... I'll probably go back to 'number of different copies', I don't know. Or, I could do 'sum of quantities' for tradables, and 'number of different copies' for wishlists, but I'd like for the system to be as *natural* as possible.

I agree that multiple copies should be taken in account in h:r. I thought it was already that way...
As for multiple wishlists, i think taking in to account multiple copies of more than, lets say,  4 copies (one for me,  3 for my friends) would ruin h:w ratios, because e person that wants that many copies will post them in tradables too...
My real wishlist is on steam.
My wishlist here is for trading purposes.
I like to trade for games I do not own based on Want/Have Ratio, rather than other approaches.

Agreed Akylen, I probably shouldn't remove games just because they've been decommissioned. Actually I didn't realize these stopped being listed in libraries.
I've added a check for that, and updated the database to clear the removed flag off all decommissioned games. (FYI, a total of 622 libraries entries were cleared that way.)

It wasn't, but I do believe I announced I'd do it that way months ago, it was just an oversight (I have so much work...!!)

Well, yes, but that's precisely my point: 4 is also a very arbitrary number... Considering all wishlist quantities are limited to 1 when calculating the W ratio would make more sense than 'considering only when below 4'... Heck, it'd even make more sense to consider all numbers, but completely ignore those that clearly say 'infinite' (count them as zero.)

Is there a mechanism to prevent future decommissioned games inheriting the flag? Just confirming I can sync freely without looking at the games asked hehe.
