Is it possible to add the ability, via a config file, to ignore certain packages that I don't care about? This would reduce the clutter of the output so that it is easier to see if I installed a proprietary package recently.

Hi @xsrvmy. Missed this one. Sorry.

This feature was already implemented in the last release (0.6.2). Use the ignore option in the config file ($HOME/.config/pacfree/pacfree.conf) to include those packages you want to be ignored during the free packages check (-f).

Disclaimer: Whenever there are ignored packages isfree won't be called: isfree is a separate program that does not include any ignore option.

Hmm I only use pacfree -f and I assume that actually calls isfree.
I mostly just wont to get rid of 'uses-nonfree' outputs since those just clutter the output.

This is exactly what the new ignore directive does for the -f option: ignored packages are skipped, but you're always warned whenever a non-free package was ignored.

If you want this feature to be implemented for isfree, please open a new issue in the isfree repo.

If the new feature does not behave as you expected, please describe the intended behavior as exactly as possible.

Thanks in advance @xsrvmy!
