+====== RCDBManager / Main screen / Start Process ======
+**Start Process** button has a drop-down menu at its right part. This menu contains all options currently supported by RomCenter's command-line tool.
+   * [[:rcdbm-main-startprocess-create|Create]]
+  * [[:rcdbm-main-startprocess-update|Update]]
+  * [[:rcdbm-main-startprocess-add_rom_path_platform|Add ROM path (Platform)]]

+When the options <font inherit/inherit;;#e74c3c;;inherit>__to be performed on all child databases of the selected platform__</font> are "checked", all that needs to be done is for the **Start Process**  button to be pressed. At this point (and if //Yes//  is pressed at the confirmation message dialog), RCDBM will call rc.exe <font inherit/inherit;;#e74c3c;;inherit>__for each one of the selected options and for each child database of the selected Platform__</font> (as shown in the tree). The details of each database and option being processed, will be shown in the **Process log** tab.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ff0000;;inherit>__**WARNING:**__</font> Depending on the selected Platform and the performance of the computer, this could take quite some time (perhaps even days on a slow computer, for large Platforms containing several children with many roms). During the process, RCDBM will not display any progress indication and will also not provide a way to stop and may appear as "not responding"). At the end, it will display the output of RomCenter's rc.exe. In any case, <font inherit/inherit;;#e74c3c;;inherit>__**it is strongly suggested to take a full backup of your databases and ROMs before managing them with RCDBM**__</font>, just in case.
+Only one of options **Create**  and **Update**  can be selected at a time. If one of them is selected, the other is automatically deselected. There is no logic in selecting them both to be executed in a session (first create a database and then update it from the same DAT file), just a waste of time.
+On application exit, the selected options are saved (per DAT file/folder) along with the selected tree node, so next time this DAT is opened, they will be restored.
