Value List Refresh
QLog checks its downloaded value lists during application startup, as part of the database schema check. If the local file is still fresh and the database table already contains data, the download is skipped. If the file is fresh but the database table is empty, QLog reloads the data from the local file. Starting QLog with --force-update or -f downloads all value lists again.
