Option to disable showing app window after adding games from extension #116

Necessary option, imo. Introduction of tabs eleviated the need to manage new games right away. I personally keep my "Default" empty and hidden most of the time, populating it with new games only.

this also sparked an idea. you mentioned that you prefer hardcoding the defaults, but what if we hardcode two default options for the default tab: Default and New, with the ability to switch between them? i believe this pattern of designating the default tab as a place for new games will be very popular, so we might as well embrace it early on.

Could you elaborate a bit why or what the New option would do other than what already happens when you add a new game? New games will go to the default tab, and you said it yourself, you're keeping it empty and hidden by default. So it'll only show when you add a new game. What benefit does that New option then add?

Yeah the "New" tab sounds a bit over the top imo, unless I'm missing something. Also would get confused with "New Tab" default naming. I think going to default is fine, then if the user doesn't use tabs, it's the same as before. If they do use tabs, then default can be the equivalent of the "New" you suggest, where games go until properly organized.

As for the option to disable focusing the GUI, agreed it was necessary.
