That would be one way to do it, but it would require manually changing the
macro to point to the file I want to open, and new macros would have to be
created for every combination of settings. My use case is using
File->Import->Raw or drag-and-dropping to open many files with many
different settings (I have HandleExtraFileTypes assume a file is raw if it
fails every other test), which would make the macro approach ineffective.
Seeing a similar suggestion from Michael, his idea of having a macro ask
for the filename is an improvement, however it still requires managing
macros, adding them to shortcuts/toolbars/etc. I see dozens of different
settings, including new ones quite frequently, so managing these macros and
easily going back and forth doesn't seem enjoyable.
