Everything 1.5 Alpha • Feature Request:Cli/Search command to reload other config files such as Macro/Bookmarks etc

$

Many times one needs to reload one or more config files after modifying them outside of Everything
This is especially useful for when you need to mass edit a number of bookmark or macro items, to correct redundant paths, drives etc or even as part of a build system that is used to unify things system wide.

For some time now, I have been making do with
Everything64 -bookmark "Restart Now"
, which essentially calls the search command
/restart-now
, it discards any recent settings and invalidates recent DB changes, furthermore, it can be prohibitive as the DB has to be
reloaded all over again and this takes a while for large DB files, on top of that local network drives always end up getting rescanned upon a restart.

I thought maybe I could try to automate the GUI window through the dreaded "open..." system dialog via
tools
>
import and export settings...
but apparently that does not apply to settings files such as bookmarks, filters.

So with that being said, I ask if you could provide a means to reload the following files either via a search command or a command line much like how
/config-load [filename]
works:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything-1.5a.ini      <--- For controlling things like localisation strings etcBookmarks-1.5a.csvMacros-1.5a.csvOmit Results-1.5a.csvFilters-1.5a.csvCustomProperties.csv                                      <--- Custom values for properties file that is assigned to "property_user_values="
This would bring Everything in a similar line to how editing config files work in popular programmes like Visual Studio Code, Windows Terminal, Obsidian, etc etc

Thank you for any consideration on this.
