 +===== Command Line Arguments and 'Silent' Import ===== 
 +MagicPlot opens files which come as the command line arguments on launch. MagicPlot Project files (.mppz) are detected as projects, the all other files are treated as the text files and the Import dialog is opened. The text files will be imported in the current opened project. 
 + 
 +The ''-silent'' key in command line forces MagicPlot to import text files without opening import dialog. The previously used import setting are used in such case. If Fit Plot or Figure creation was selected in Import dialog last time, the new plots will be created.\\ 
 +Example for Windows OS: ''MagicPlotPro.exe mydata.txt -silent'' 
 + 
 +Please make sure that your firewall software does not block MagicPlot loopback (127.0.0.1) request.
