TC suggestions (English) • Re: Loadlist from Command line

We have the LOADLIST command which is used for example in our Everything GUI script.
The usage would be much simpler if we had a TC command line switch like
/list=path_to_listname.txt
This would completely eliminate the need for an View mode and the Auto Switch Mode.
In general scripting and deliver results to TC will be much easier.

I (still) don't understand this suggestion.

To transfer search results from 'Everything' to Total Commander,
neither a 'View mode' nor an 'Auto Switch mode' are required.
In my opinion, it is sufficient to execute the compiled AHK script.

AHK-Script - Line 41 : DestinationFile = C:\totalcmd\EV-Results\EV-Results.txt (example!)
AHK-Script - Line 164 : Run %TotalCmd% /O /T /S LOADLIST:%DestinationFile%
Total Commander .....: %COMMANDER_EXE% /O /T /S LOADLIST:C:\totalcmd\EV-Results\EV-Results.txt

I subjected the compiled AHK script to a hard test test under various conditions - with the following result:

Search query directly in 'Everything': files: (approx. 600,000 files)
Compiled AHK script - name: SEND_EV-RESULTS_to_TC-panel_(A)_CloseEverything-0_TAB-Search_result_(A).exe
After approx. 4 or 4.5 minutes I received this message, which caused a cancellation:
Memory limit reached --- SEND_EV-RESULTS_to_TC-panel_(A)_CloseEverything-0_TAB-Search_result_(A).exe
Code:
```
Error:  Memory limit reached (see #MaxMem in the help file).Line#--->124: fullContent .= full ""The current thread will exit.
```
fullContent .= full "`n" ... is located in line 154 and not in line 124.
The file "C:\totalcmd\EV-Results\EV-Results.txt" was written, but it contained 38 files instead of approx. 600,000 files.
RAM consumption: max 28%

A search query directly in 'Everything' and transferring the result to Total Commander with the same AHK script
with approx. 40,000 files and 5,500 folders takes only a few seconds.
Approx. 200,000 files and approx. 20,000 folders were also transferred without any problems (approx. 1.5 minutes) from EV to TC.

For comparison, a search query in Total Commander using 'Everything':

ev:files: (approx. 600,000 files)
Approx. 1 minute, 40 seconds until the result is displayed in Total Commander (not cached!).
Button "Feed to listbox": Approx. 25 seconds until the result has been transferred.
RAM consumption: max 26%
