A game is only cached when it is played. It would be useful to have an option to pre-cache one or more games without needing to play them.
Pre-cache would need to check that multiple games don't exceed total cache size, and provide a progress window for each archive / all archives, and allow cancelling at any time.
When pre-caching, ignore checks not to cache a game, such as the minimum archive size setting.
Combined with #16, this would allow a user to pre-cache a bunch of games from their NAS to their machine and take it to a friend's place to play, without any changes to LaunchBox's config.
