Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I like shader cache feature, but it's annoying, because when i start steam, i'm getting several shader cache updates
I would like if steam let you decide when to download shader cache:

  1. Download when shader update is available (like now)
  2. Download and prepare by request (RMB on a game -> download and prepare shaders)
  3. Download and prepare when you start the game (like p.2, but automatically when you start a game)

Extra:
4. Allow changing this config per game, so i could select several games which cache i want always to be fresh (act like p.1 for specific game, while global is p.2 or p.3)
