Yes, I saw the same problem in an older version.
Good that you mention it; I forgot to to that.

It really irritated me, when I saw that selection...

"Verlinken" means linking.
Thats the term I also used when talking about spreaded
"repositories"/databases.

I'm not sure if this term "linking" is the best way to express it.
Someone might understand it as linking on the filesystem level,
as done with ln(1).

But I also have no better term for it.

Maybe "only import metadata into database" would be the correct
explanation, which is a bit too long I guess.
