The relevant snippet of WizardProjectsImportPage.java

The project list in the Import Existing Projects wizard for me always contains hundreds of poposals that are grayed out because they are already properly imported. I would really prefer not to see those at all. Whenever I'm trying to import a single new project I have to scroll through all in order to prevent accidental import of other project folders.

I'm attaching a possible fix (can't seem to create patches with EGit).

With EGit you first have to commit the change, then select it in the History view. From there you can create the patch via context menu.

The fact that they're shown and greyed out is deliberate.  But I would consider a dialog check box "filter already imported projects" or something like that.

I believe this can be closed, as the described option exists in Luna.
