Describe the feature you'd like

I would love an option during the import process to skip the background processing.

When selected, the system should create the bookmarks using only the imported data (e.g. Title, Description, Image URL #2350) and treat the item as "processed" immediately.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Importing large collections of social media links (Twitter, Pinterest) currently triggers aggressive rate limits, causing imports to take hours.

This would also save CPU and bandwidth for users who utilize Karakeep as a visual bookmark manager (Pinterest-style) and do not require full-page text search or offline archiving.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No. Currently, the importer forces a scraping job for every URL with no options to abort.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

No response
