Research direction
Start by locating the “Import Names and Comments...” action and the code that imports data from the IDA database. Trace how the dialog currently selects import options. Done means users can choose names and comments independently, use a generic import label if appropriate, and have their selections persisted.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Not everyone needs both the function/symbol names AND comments from the database. I unfortunately didn't see an easy way to configure to basically ignore importing comments.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
When selecting the Import Names and Comments... button (maybe you can rename the button to be something more generic like Import Data) then having a popup dialog box where the user can select which items they want imported into the database. Also, having to check the same boxes on every opening of the dialog would be annoying, so having these selected items be persisted might be nice?
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Well I guess I could make a duplicate database and clear out the comments only and import it from there, but where would be the fun in that?
