Hi,

Its only a few steps: you can send commands to TC (even programatically), so only these are the needed ones after each other:

01. Paste the list of the selected files to the clipboard (every file to a new line) from the source software (XnView in this case)
02. Jump to the current directory of the images (or go to the root of the drive) [examples here and there if you'd like to do it from code]
03. Send "cm_DirBranch" to the command line of TC
04. Send "cm_LoadSelectionFromClip" to the command line of TC
05. Send "cm_ShowOnlySelected" to the command line of TC
06. (optional) Send "cm_GoToFirstFile" to the command line of TC

Maybe there's a shorter way - if so, other will let you know for sure.
