13.19 beta-3 Auto import

I am wondering why when I started to import roms and I cancelled the import, it still imported the games automatically but with no input from me. This means I didnt get a chance to select an emulator, among other things. Is this intended? I dont understand how this could work. Does this require setting up platforms and emulators before the import? But that doesnt make sense either because it tries to import new games automatically right away before theres a chance to set things up. Im very confused on how this is supposed to work.

Auto-import will auto-assign the imported games in question to the default emulator for the platform they are imported for. If one doesn't exist then an "unassigned emulator" flag is set on those games. If you attempt to play one it'll ask you to set up the emulator and give recommendations as to which to use if we have a recommendation. When you set up it up it'll ask you if you want to assign it to all games in that platform and if you press yes all of them migrate to it and can be played like normal.

Thank you for clarifying.

I know this is an old post, but it is my post and I thought I would add to it instead of creating a new one.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have this option NOT selected by default. I just opened up Launchbox to import 1 console and set some settings for it and play around with it and before I knew it, it had "imported" every system I had a game folder for, even though most of them didn't have games in them yet. It basically just imported BIOS files that I had in them. I wanted to work on getting the games into the folders before importing them. I understand that some people would like this feature, and I may at some point too, but to have it enabled by default is not good in some situations. I had to go through and manually delete all the systems I wasn't ready for yet.
