Would it be possible to add a switch to the CLI to automatically load and process a list of files? I wrote a script that looks for videos that need to be processed/re-processed and writes that to a file. I can manually open that list via the built-in import button. But it would be cool if I could just completely automate the process without having to put in a lot of effort.

Right now, if I wanted to process a list of files via the CLI, I would have to put them all as a separate input parameter when calling VTM. However, windows has a limit on the length of a command you can run. There are different limits depending what method you use to execute a program. But CMD.EXE has a limit of 8191 characters. So that limits the number of files I can process with a single command.

Thank you
