You could, but you don't have to.

That's a different GUI question altogether.  In any case, that can optionally be turned off should we want to.

My suggestion was that if you use the existing processing code and path, auto-detect at init would work just like if it were invoked from the menu.

But the main reason for the changes is that in your implementation, if BitPim loses focus while auto-detect is running and subsequently fails, the result dialog gets stuck behind the splash screen giving users the impression of BitPim being frozen or hang.
