           Summary: allow to load a data file directly from the command line
           Product: kst
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kst kde org
        ReportedBy: nicolas.brisset eurocopter com


Version:           1.2.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

Currently, if you want to work on a file named "mydata.cdf", you have to:
1) start kst
2) launch the datawizard (one click)
3) select the right file in the first page (can be many clicks)
before you can start working on it (I consider the command line switches "kst -F datafile -x foo -y bar ..." too long to type be used for normal interactive use when you want to plot many variables)

I think "kst mydata.cdf" should see that mydata.cdf is not a valid kst file (which it already sees), and instead of complaining about it, open the datawizard initialized on that file.
