Loadlist as command line function

Thanks for fixing the Loadlist bug with 10.50b1
I had the hope that my suggestion for adding a command line Loadlist would come with the new version.
I guess a parameter like /LL=nameoflist.txt is not a big programming effort.
Such a simple function would omit the need for complicated Auto-view settings
and provide a interface for scripting the display of various scripts.

Why not a hotkey with Loadlist/%P%N ?

Thats not the solution, this can be already done with a button.
We have the automated solution in the Everything GUI to TC list using Auto-View settings with Loadlist.
You can't do the same when the user must first press a hotkey or button to see the results.
The requested command line option allows a script to display its results as TC results without any addional user actions
after the script is started.

Do you mean the situation where TC is started with the /N key?

It doesn't matter what other parameters are there.
It should simply execute a LOADLIST with its parameter from the command line.

I understood initially from the title that it was about the command line of TC.
What command line are you writing about? External? In TC itself, this makes no sense.

Of course a command line parameter to start TC.
LOADLIST can be invoked from a running TC with any method you want (button or hokey)
but not with a command line parameter starting TC.
I suggest you start by reading the solution which feeds Everything GUI results to TC
to understand the purpose of this request.

After clarification, it became clear. I support it.
