Jabref 5.5 automatically looks for files to autolink with all entries when opening a database. I use a relatively big database whose linked files are stored on a network drive; every time I open it Jabref tries to freshly scan to autolink files, as it probably believes that the files in the network drive might have changed.
This results in 10 minutes of background tasks running, meaning that every time I open and close Jabref in less than a 10 minutes I get an additional prompt to wait for background tasks to finish running.

Would it be possible to add a setting to disable file autolinking?
Thanks!
