Option to disable auto-update by default

I'd like to get PatchMyPC set to run automatically and update my apps on a schedule. However, I have a number of apps that I don't want it to update as I'm concerned it will cause issues with those apps (for example, I have heard OBS updates can sometimes wreck your setup - I would want to do those manually so I at least know I'm potentially going to have issues). I can go through and disable automatic updates for all of those applications of course, but then I can only disable the ones that are both currently installed and currently supported by PMPC. This makes me concerned that I will forget I had PMPC set to auto-update apps, and somewhere down the line it will start updating something I didn't want it to update.


The (easy?) fix for this: I'd like to change the behavior of PMPC so that rather than explicitly disabling the apps I don't want, I can go through and explicitly enable the apps I do want.

Note I'm not suggesting that the default out-of-the-box behavior be changed for PMPC, I just want the option to adjust its behavior in the settings.
