Describe the feature you'd like

I just imported my bookmarks from chrome and they're 2000+ and now my VPS is slowly getting filled with screenshots. So I had to manually delete the screenshots

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

It will save a lot of storage.

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

There's no alternative to skip crawling screenshots currently

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

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

I think you can disable screenshotting, do the import then re-enable it. It's too niche of a feature to support natively honestly.
