I re-read all the posts and I *think* I understand that you're saying any images that were in the screensaver folder and moved into "My Books" will need to be deleted from "my books" since they were moved BEFORE I added the exclusion settings? Is that correct?

The images showing up under "My Books" are in: /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old so I deleted them all from there. I then switched back to wallpaper mode and then reimported my screensaver images into .kobo/screensaver/ (this folder was empty at this point)

However they're still showing up under my books whenever I switch to cover art mode and then plug my kobo into my computer.

If it matters:
macOS 14.4.1
Libra 2
4.38.21908 firmware
All images are jpeg

To give you a tidy list of actions I'm taking that result in the images being imported as books:
  1. Exclusion regex is currently saved in the config file
  2. Plug Kobo into Mac, load images into screensaver folder
  3. Eject Kobo
  4. Screensavers work as expected
  5. Toggle to cover art mode
  6. Cover art mode works as expected (switching back to wallpaper mode works as expected too)
  7. Plug into Mac again (in cover art mode still)
  8. Eject Kobo
  9. Kobo displays "importing content" as if I'd loaded new books
  10. Screensaver images are in "My Books"
