📋 Summary
Add an option to defer plugin updates so they are applied the next time LaunchBox starts, without forcing the user to restart immediately.
❗ Problem
Updating plugins can interrupt the user’s current session if LaunchBox needs to restart right away.
This is frustrating when the user is actively organizing their library, importing games, downloading media, or preparing to launch something.
💡 Proposal
When plugin updates are available, provide a less disruptive update option such as:
Update and restart now
Download/update later
Apply updates the next time LaunchBox starts
If the user chooses to defer, LaunchBox should keep using the currently loaded plugin version until the app is closed and reopened normally.
🧩 Use Cases
A user sees plugin updates but wants to keep working
A user updates several plugins at once without interrupting their session
Plugin updates are ready automatically the next time LaunchBox opens
📦 Benefits
Reduces forced interruptions
Makes plugin updates feel smoother
Gives users more control over when updates are applied
Improves the Plugin Manager experience
⚠️ Considerations
Pending plugin updates should be clearly indicated
Users should be able to cancel a pending update if needed
Existing plugin behavior should remain active until LaunchBox restarts
