O.P. [suggestion] don't start script on import
When you download and install a script it starts automagically..
Sometimes this is very irritating...
I would suggest that if you import/install a script it won't start
and it won't untill you start it manualy...

RE: [suggestion] don't start script on import
Hmm not entirely sure how this would be useful, if you are installing a script you obviously want to use it, so why wouldn't you want it started on import? If you don't want it running yet, don't import it.

RE: [suggestion] don't start script on import
Nope, I totally disagree, this would confuse a lot of people who haven't used scripts before (I've had enough messages just asking where the menu is in scripts, if they had to figure out to start it too...)
Also, if you don't want a script to start, just don't install it till you do. :/
I suppose optional would be OK, but I like the current system best.

I fully agree with alex here. Not starting scripts would confuse a major part of the users.

RE: [suggestion] don't start script on import
This would be extremely useful for someone who gets a lot of scripts to have a look at just the methods used before deciding what to do with the script, people like me. I know I could always dismantle the script and look at the *.js file but I couldn't be bothered and just install it instead.
I think this option would be very useful when you are downloading what looks like it might be a suspicious script (a new member posts a new script on the forum and it just doesn't seem to add up to you). Again, possible to unpack the script and do it that way but it is just a hassle.
It could alway always be put into a hidden "advanced" area of the window that only becomes visible on clicking a link like in a lot of other programs.

if you really want to check the scirpt before importing it, just rename the .plsc file to .zip and extract the files . Whe nyou import a script, it is assumed that you want to use it.

Download > Right Click > Open With WinRar > Right click .js > View file
Download > Double click > click accept > click install > plus logo > preferences > scripts > double click script.
IMO, first way... less hassle.

No, i totally disagree. If you want to check the script out, rename to zip and extract it.
