I think this would be very useful and very easy to implement.
Currently, Store Manager allows several actions when a reference is already in the database but not in the CSV import file. One of those actions is to set quantity of those references to zero. A very useful addition would a be a similar action: set quantity to zero and ALSO set visibility to hidden.
Prestashop by itself does not allow to hide out-of-stock products (a really absurd limitation), but shows an ugly warning box instead when trying to order it. The only solution I know of is to install a trigger at PHPMyAdmin (http://bit.ly/1nSWmk4) . This feature would gracefully overcome that limitation, and probably is very easy to program.

it's actually the status. the way i do it, is sorting all product by modified date, then selecting products not modified and changing status

Hello David!
Something like this will be available soon. This is Custom SQL feature. You can execute any SQL query after import.
Example of implementation of Store Manager for VirtueMart - http://virtuemart-manager.com/useful-articles/tips-tricks/what-are-custom-sqls-and-how-to-manage-virtuemart-data-using-them/

Thanks Sergiy. I didn't know about the current Custom SQL feature, sorry. I understand it cannot be triggered automatically for the moment after a CSV import, but that's a minor shortcoming. Would you be so kind of posting the correct custom SQL query to set visibility to hidden to every product when quantity equals zero? Or should I post it the help forum?

Hello David!
First of all, this feature in our to-do list. That's why you'll not be able to find it in the current Release.
Custom SQL will be executed by Store Manager after import automatically without any additional help.
All you need is to add this SQL query in the configuration of import.
I'll try to prepare Custom SQL for you as an example.

You need the following sections:
- Raw Table Editor
- Custom SQL section
- Import-Export Wizard with Custom SQL execution support (will be available soon in feature Release)
See screenshots
You can construct something like this
UPDATE `ps_product`
SET active=0
WHERE id_manufacturer = 8;
where id_manufacturer is you special manufacturer with id = 8
or you can use another filed as condition - id_product or id_supplier or another field you want to compare.

Small update: You should be familiar with SQL to create such queries.
