Disable Auto-ROM imports by Default for new builds

LaunchBox for Windows

Summary:

Please make Auto-ROM imports opt-in instead of enabled by default on new LaunchBox installations.

Proposal:

Disable Auto-ROM -import by default and add an opt-in prompt during setup. Users can still manually import Storefront games later if they choose.

    Hi Folks,

    As of 13.23, the new import wizard allows you to choose if you want to enable automatic storefront imports. So for new builds, you now have the options for it not to import storefront games!

    Rather than disabling it by default, what about just prompting the user “Would you like to enable auto-import for roms?” on startup if there are no games in the collection.

      As long as it can disable auto imports like steam, I would be good.

    Instead of having to launch the program and have it already loading in files that I would have to audit later, it would be nice to have the “Enable Automatic Imports On Startup” disabled by default. It isn’t like we can’t just enable it later or manually import the games of other DRM clients.
